Posted by Catherine Prezbindowski on June 7, 2016 at 6:08 pm
I’m interested – Are there any programs related to this program for youth in the summer?

Hi Catherine,
Our program takes a break for the summer because most of the kids work in the fields, but I would love to talk more. Jblackmore@mvsd320.org

Hello, is it possible to buy the dvd (shown above) or is it just a book?

Thank you! To clarify, Every Row a Path is the film that accompanies the DreamFields book, correct?

“Every Row a Path” is the perfect accompaniment to the book.
When we first published the book in 2012, it included a short, student-made documentary titled “Who We Are”, which now lives on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbsQTd0gl-o
In 2015 we completed “Every Row a Path”, a 30-minute professional documentary that stars five Mount Vernon migrant students who are in the book, and who were in the original short documentary. As I mentioned, “Every Row a Path” is the perfect accompaniment to the book.
We hope you find both useful and educational!

Hi,
We attended a conference where the Migrant Leaders of Mt. Vernon presented with the club facilitator. We are hoping to duplicate this idea/club in our own migrant community for our school district. We were hoping to reach out to the facilitator that spoke about the program to learn how it got started and more. I can’t recall her name and was hoping I could get that information.
Thank you,
Heidi
