‘The Education Connection’

Harmon

In Education and other areas, one of the biggest issues facing underserved communities is lack of access to information. The Westside Gazette will continue to serve as a resource to keep our community informed.

With that in mind, The Westside Gazette will begin to run a monthly column called, “The Education Connection.” This column will be comprehensive with a mission to enlighten readers about issues involving all areas of education. What’s unique about, “The Education Connection” is we will integrate the pillars of Education; Academics, Mindfulness, Advocacy, Mental Health Awareness, and Wellness while, “connecting” them with the myriad of activities, events, historical and cultural life of South Florida.

In addition, “The Education Connection” seeks to serve as a resource for insights into the latest research, interviews with experts, practical techniques, and provide both local and online resources for readers to get additional help and more information. Our goal is to keep our community connected.

Stay connected. Knowledge is power and ACCESS is the key! Look for, “The Education Connection”.
