Meet Sahra White, UMFS Foster Parent Ambassador

UMFS’ Treatment Foster Care Program utilizes foster parents with specialized training to care for children, teens and sibling groups who have been in the foster care system for many years, had multiple placements and experienced the pain of being separated from their natural supports. Children and teens are referred to UMFS from a local department of social services because their needs cannot be met at the local department.

Sarah Chase is a psychology professor at St. Mary's College of Maryland and a mother of three Stafford County Public School graduates.  Her family has lived in Falmouth since 2001, and she has volunteered in the schools throughout that time. She believes this combination of experiences--parent and educator--gives me a unique understanding of the needs of Stafford's students and teachers. She was elected to the Falmouth seat for School Board in November of 2017. She has spent the past four years working to promote quality education, teacher retention, and smart spending--things that benefit all Stafford residents, regardless of whether you have a child in the school system.  A few of the accomplishments she is most proud of are: 1) the acquisition of the North Star Early Childhood Education Center in north Stafford; 2) pay increases for teachers and staff all four years; 3) the renovation of Ferry Farm Elementary School, 4) the introduction of the Fire and Rescue CTE program, and 5)  presenting the Stafford Count School Board funding request to the Board of Supervisors in 2019 and 2020.

Vote Early is a new civic holiday founded by MTV focused on helping every voter know how, where, and when they can vote early. Launched in the midst of a global pandemic, Vote Early Day became a critical resource to ensure no voter had to choose between their health and casting their ballot. In its first celebration, Vote Early Day attracted 134 premier partners and 2,700 general partners from every state in the nation. Over 3,000,000 voters cast their ballots on Vote Early Day alone.

The Urban Flight Foundation will be hosting a series of events in the month of October to bring awareness to Vote Early Day, inform voters who is on the ballot, and most of all register people to vote.
