March 26 - Babies are born in the circle of the sun.......

Starting to look like Spring out there....

Upon reflection of our brief conversation during Best Practice related to Act 46 and the recent LSUU school board merger, I thought I'd share the following:

Before I arrived to PA in 2007 and ever since, PA has worked closely with Stowe school staff and teachers. We've done some great work and forged important relationships. We have staff in our school who live in Stowe, some of whom have students in Stowe schools. Many of us have, including me, have close friends who live in Stowe, some of whom also have children in the school system. We share staff, students, and resources. Stowe is our neighbor, our partner, and our friend. Unfortunately, they are going through some rough times. 

We should consider reaching out to those whom we are close to in the Stowe schools and ask them how we can help.  At PA, we are good at helping, providing support, and being inclusive. Now, as much as ever, we need to model inclusivity, empathy, and kindness. It's possible that our actions can help to make the challenging road ahead a little more smooth for our friends and colleagues.
