In this episode, we dive into the powerful impact that school communities have beyond just academics. From a heartfelt story about students being relocated due to construction, to the emotional and social connections that happen when kids get to spend time together outside the classroom. We explore the importance of these moments for students’ well-being and how it goes far beyond worksheets and computer work.

We also highlight the incredible achievement of a local school earning the prestigious Lighthouse School certification from the Stephen Covey Foundation. This recognition celebrates the dedication of both teachers and students in developing leadership skills and lifelong habits for success.

Hear inspiring stories from the Evening of Excellence, where students honor teachers who made a lasting impact on their lives — from coaches who kept them on track to teachers who stayed in touch years later. We talk about how these connections validate the hard work educators put in every day.

Finally, we discuss exciting ideas for the future of school sports facilities and what it means to be part of the school foundation board, encouraging listeners to get involved and make a difference.

Join us for a heartfelt conversation about the power of education, community, and leadership.
