Steve Is My Friend As anyone involved in migrant education knows, relationships with migrant children and their families often provide experiences that serve to spur further efforts in their behalf. In many instances, these experiences relate to health, educational, and other kinds of basic needs. Often, too, this working together renders particularly beautiful human relationships. Recently, Migrant Center staff have had unusual rewards in this regard. Steve Weisbrod, Workshops Coordinator, figures prominently in Danny Taylor's book, ALL ABOUT ME! "My name is Danny Taylor. I am seven years old. I go to school in Castile. My teacher is Mrs. Ayers. My favorite food is baloney. Steve is my friend." NYS Migrant Center Newsletter. Vol. 5, pg. 8. January 1973 |

| The migrant children Robert
Coles studied drew him pictures of their lives on the road, in the
fields, in the camps. The migrant children attending the Children's
Demonstration School also drew pictures and told stories. These pages
are from books made by children in the 1971 season. They describe field
trips and other interesting, enriching experiences built into the
School's curriculum.
The vocabulary lessons show the books' used as teaching tools.
