Thank you to David Stefanich and how you challenge Teachers and Students alike to break down racial barriers. Have the conversation. Listen. #futureTedTalk

The activity of “breaking down walls” is becoming a M,W,F morning hit. Q&A convo. 10 min. Blended groupings. 1 “deep” suggested ? by teacher. All others up to Ss. Example - what is a painful challenge you have overcome? #moments #conversation

If you said yes- we will see you at Great Lakes this Friday! Bring a chair, blanket,your family, your neighbors, everyone! There is more that unites us than divides us!

Had the opportunity to place Matt Brummel, the fourth principal of Great Lakes Elementary, on the Hot Seat today. The students rose to the occasion, asking questions surrounding his “why”. We are excited to teach and learn alongside you Principal Brummel #GoWO
