Bea Cruz may be the ideal bilingual outreach liaison to our Spanish-speaking migrant population, a job she holds for Suttons Bay Public Schools, both in and outside of the classroom. Cruz’s family were migrant farmworkers, themselves, and she learned to grow up embracing two cultures while interpreting for her Mexican immigrant parents. A graduate of Leland High School, Cruz is the mother of three sons between ages 8 and 17. As an ambassador to the Latino community, she understands what it’s like to grow up a person of color in Leelanau County.
