Lisa Bright, MSW, has joined the CAO team as the community education coordinator. She has been busy working in the newly arrived refugee communities in metro Denver, Ft Morgan, Greeley and Colorado Springs to bring a new and exciting parent engagement program to Colorado. CAO has identified community leaders in these areas (Somali, Congolese, people of Burma, Bhutanese) that reflect the newly arrived refugee population in Colorado who will become CAO-supported community navigators. These seven navigators will hold parent engagement workshops in their communities as well as help teachers and schools understand and connect with the newly arrived. Welcome to the team, Lisa!
