🙌 Congratulations to the cast and crew of the @MarzolfPrimary 3rd Grade production of “Stone Soup”. Our students did an amazing job and we could not be more proud as they shared the message that everyone benefits by contributing! #WeAreSA

Lions🦁, tigers🐯, & bears🐻—the Marzolf Zoo features all of these animals & more! Marzolf Primary School staff recently transformed a classroom into a zoo. Students helped create animals to add to the exhibits & have been serving as zoo guides & gift shop clerks. #WeAreSA

Important thread here about why you should act with compassion when interviewing someone who just lost a loved one. Remember they are a person living through the absolute worst days/weeks/months/years of their life. Interviewing with empathy and respect goes a long way.

So I sent out a few tweets about insensitive questions being asked of victims' families yesterday. To explain why this is such a big deal to me, I want to tell you the story of Christopher Meis

The Shaler Area Backpack Initiative is up & running thanks to the SASD community. This program provides a weekend supply of single-serving snacks & easily prepared meals for K-8 students. Read about the volunteers & donors who make it possible: bit.ly/3mDrz1c

Virtual learning is in full swing for me this week. I feel so lucky to be able to give some additional support to students & teachers during this crazy year! This screen grab is from a writing group I do with kindergarten students on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Ten-year-old Ludi Aguera didn’t realize the significance of the bug she squashed at the Shaler Area Elementary School track – she just thought it was a cool-looking moth. neighborhoods.triblive.com/content-page/?

Excited to be an AmeriCorps member for the next year. I'm serving the Shaler Area School District (Marzolf Primary!) where I'll be helping students with math. If you followed me for news then you won't find much of that anymore, but lots of education & service updates to come!

Today was my last day at the Tribune-Review. It was a long and hard decision filled with many tears. I love being a reporter, but I'm taking a step back from news to decide what my next move will be. It's a bittersweet goodbye, but I'm excited to see what comes next.
