WGBH wants to find out if kids like the TV show and its characters.

VI is looking for kids aged 6 – 9 years old to participate in a 90-minute focus group. In each focus group, we will show kids part of the new TV show and get their reactions to it.

Some details:

* The groups will take place on Tuesday, October 6 in Boston, MA, Thursday October 8 in Phoenix, AZ, and Tuesday, October 13 in Nashville, TN.
* The groups will occur after school during the late afternoon / very early evening.
* We’re conducting 6 focus groups in total, with 6-8 kids in each one.
* Each child will receive a $20 gift card to a local bookstore for their participation.
* Each focus group will last no longer than 90 minutes.
* A trained researcher from Veridian inSight will lead the groups.
* Parents will be responsible for bringing their child to and from the focus groups.



If your child is interested in participating please e-mail Rae Ann at rcatino@veridianinsight.com or call her at 978.405.3108.

BHCC is co-hosting the event with University of Massachusetts Boston.

The White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans was created by Executive Order on September 24, 1990 to improve Federal efforts to promote quality education for Hispanic Americans. The Director of WHI is Juan Sepulveda, who has contacted Hispanic communities nationwide for these town-hall style meetings across the country. Sepulveda is visiting Hispanic communities to gain input prior to updating the Executive Order later this year.

At Bunker Hill Community College in Boston, Sepulveda will be meeting with Hispanic community leaders, educators, students and local activists in a dialogue to promote understanding on what the WHI can do to improve Hispanic education.

This day-long event will have two consecutive sessions, one beginning at 9:30 a.m. (ending at 11:30 a.m.) and one at 12:45 p.m. (ending at 2:15 p.m.). Mr. Sepulveda will be available for media interviews at 9:00 a.m. and at 2:15 pm. Other times may also be scheduled. As space is limited, RSVPs are strongly encouraged: Please call 617 228 3404.

Mr. Sepulveda will be welcomed by Dr. Mary Fifield, President of BHCC, and BHCC Board of Trustees Member Gerardo Villacres. Dr. Winston Langley, Provost of UMass Boston will also deliver opening remarks.

National and local speakers include LULAC National President Rosa Rosales, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino, Judge Diana Maldonado of the Chelsea District Court, Massachusetts State Senator Sonia Chang-Diaz, Rhode Island State Representative Grace Diaz and Telemundo celebrity Dr. Ana Maria Polo of “Caso Cerrado,” and many others.

Local leaders will be recognized at the Saturday breakfast and a salute to corporate sponsors will be featured at the luncheon.

On Saturday a Macy’s Spring Shopping and Fashion Reception will take place followed by a taste of Boston reception.

“We invite the public to attend our workshops focusing on empowerment, leadership and management,” said LULAC National Vice-President for Women Regla Gonzalez. “We will also be holding a silent auction on Friday.”
