Bienvenido oyentes! We're back to wrap up our feature of the McDonough Market. This is a very special episode because it is our first bilingual episode! Guests include Community School Partnership & Operations Manager, Councilman Nick Lebron from Catholic Charities. We also want to welcome our in-house Family & Community Support Service Provider, Michelle Martinez, as well as Marie Heredia, the Parent Services Coordinator from Catholic Charities. In this episode, we dive into how families can access the market, how the market has progressed since its opening, and we play a fun game of music trivia. Enjoy!

Welcome back listeners! In this episode, McDonough Bears Ivanelisse and Asusena interview Hartford Public Schools Superintendent, Dr. Leslie Torres-Rodriguez, as well as Chief Black-Burke and Connecticut Foodshare's Luis Rodriguez-Porter. They discuss the grand opening of the McDonough Market,  a collaboration school with Catholic Charities.
