The School Connect Podcast

A Simple Mistake Led to More Schools Becoming Great

Episode Summary

Today's episode begins with a story about how a mishap with a logo brought together an incredible partnership. Tracey and Tim welcome Dr. William (Kip) Schumacher, and Dr. Erica Ray of the William C. Schumacher Family Foundation for a fun and joy-filled episode. The Schumacher Family Foundation was already doing phenomenal work for local schools in Lafayette, LA. When the fortunate meeting between them and School Connect happened, Kip and Erica adopted School Connect's CAFE model and it pushed their outreach and school revitalization to new levels. Kip and Erica discuss all the ways that this alliance has helped their community, kids, and parents, and how the commitment of Tracey and the School Connect family helped to make it a reality. Dr. Schumacher sees the model as something that helps locally but feels that it is so vital and works so well, that it may in fact be important enough to save our country. It brings people together, rallies around kids, builds community, bridges divides, and helps people to raise each other up instead of tear each other down.  Find out how you can get involved with School Connect: http://www.schoolconnectaz.org Become part of the village with School Connect!
