Day 3 Recap: Darren Walker, Valerie Jarrett, and Jonathan Capehart Discuss Head Start
Given that I have been blogging away these past few days I thought perhaps I should introduce myself. My name is Evita Almassi and I provide NHSA’s voice on our social media outlets. I am a Seattle-lite born and raised and like most Seattle-lites I love a good cup of coffee and am a dedicated University of Washington Husky Fan. I am very excited to be a part of NHSA and am looking forward being a part of the future of Head Start!
“I believe in America. I believe in an America where we can fulfill our promise to our kids”.— Darren Walker
