At the end of a school day this past week, I received a text message from one of our in-house substitute teachers. He is new to Great River this spring, and has subbed in every classroom at least once this past month. I thought everyone in our community should get to feel the reward of his assessment. Below is the message:

" There are incredible things happening at great river, I'm impressed daily by the creativity, expansiveness of vision, and health and vibrancy of the students you're serving. Please accept this as a virtual high five." 👋

One of the many compelling moments observed this week at Great River - this encouragement on an announcement board -

"write an uncensored letter to FEAR, from EMPATHY"
