March 2021: WREX 13 HEROES: LaToya Crowley
(WREX) — While the calendar now reads March, we ended Black History Month by honoring Black leaders who were making a difference in the community. One of the heroes we recognized was LaToya Crowley, a social worker for Easterseals Academy Machesney Park. LaToya's nominators say she works with parents and her team to make sure kids are getting the resources they need, whether it's at school or in the community. Her nominators say LaToya is a fierce advocate for her students and works hard to get them the support and services they need.
