End of April

This is going to be a quick update. Ready... Set... Go!


I've visited WLA, North, Westy, and Lincoln over the last week and it's astounding to hear how quickly the seniors' last day is approaching. Every program has numerous success stories and I'm beyond impressed with the work you all have done.

I had an opportunity to apply for a Technical Assistance opportunity, which would allow us to receive free resources and help from MENTOR Colorado. We're looking at working with this group to revise/refine MOUs with schools and to deepen our on-boarding processes.

I forget if I've already shared this resource, but it might be worth a second (definitely a first) read. It talks all about why schools should prioritize relationships. Mr. Medina and I even had a chat about how student success is totally tied to SEL skills. In his words, "You have to peel back the layers of the onion. When you get to the center, then you can move kids forward." Brilliant!
