Farewell Old Campus! Thank you for 70 great years. Witnessing the reunion of past and present teachers and students during the groundbreaking ceremony of the new Minnie J. Niblack Elementary School in Lake City, Florida, was inspiring this week. Our team had the privilege of helping start the demolition of the old campus. We also had the honor of hearing from Superintendent Lex Carswell and Principal Makeba Murphy. This new, state-of-the-art school is a successful prototype design we adapted to meet Columbia County's needs. The facility will span over 60,000 square feet and accommodate more than 500 students, all while preserving the surrounding wetlands. We are thrilled to collaborate with Columbia County School District and Gilbane, Inc. on this transformative project for the community. We eagerly anticipate the completion in 2025!

Friends, we are in the home stretch of this campaign and I need your help to get to the finish line. This election has shown what we already know well: College Park is a special place. We love and are proud of College Park. So proud in fact, we claim it no matter who’s around. One of my colleagues in another Georgia city said recently, "Any mayor that doesn't believe their city is the best city in the world, shouldn't be mayor." I can't agree more. We are committed to this city. We know it’s not perfect, but we keep working everyday to make it even better. College Park deserves the best leadership - leaders who are genuinely dedicated to the well-being of the city, rather than those seeking power for personal gain and without doing the homework it takes to prepare for this role. If given the honor to serve as mayor for four more years, we will continue providing more access to quality housing and ensure our employees are compensated fully and fairly. We will work to provide our retirees yearly cost of living increases. We will invest in our youth through mentoring programs and even more pathways to great careers. Together, we will increase investments in safety and security. And I will maintain good government practices through transparency, communication, and expanded engagement opportunities. We must see past the theatrics, fear-mongering, empty promises, and unsupported plans and commit to the facts. Let's keep on building the community we deserve! https://lnkd.in/ggQd2Pnj

Check out this article about Mr. Grossman and his work with his yearly May Program! 🔨🚧🪚👷♂️
Charlie Grossman, a history teacher at Breck School and Twin Cities Habitat board member, has led an annual service project with Habitat for 17 years. He's created a tradition of hands-on learning and community service that's become popular among students. 🔨 . "On day one, they have no idea what they're doing,” Charlie said. “By the end of the first week, they’re setting up tools, measuring, and cutting wood with precision."

I started Camp Patriot at Stevenson High School in 2018 with the goal of (again) putting together a camp program that I can be proud of. We focus on building community, trying new things, and focusing on growth. It sounds like families are happy with us, too. Camp ‘24 ended on Friday and, as of today, we’re 50% full for summer of ‘25.

11 Days of 11 Most: Roosevelt High School, Gary, Indiana Constructed in 1930, Theodore Roosevelt High School in Gary is one of only three high schools in Indiana built specifically to serve the educational needs of Black Americans in the Jim Crow era. It was designed by noted architect William B. Ittner and constructed in response to advocacy by Gary’s Black community following large scale protests by white students when the school corporation attempted to racially integrate an existing high school. In its years of operation, Roosevelt has many notable alumni including Olympic boxer Charles Adkins, CBS reporter Emery King, NFL player Gerald Irons, actor Avery Brooks, and members of The Jackson 5. Despite Roosevelt High School’s continued cultural importance to the Black community in Gary, declining enrollment and deferred maintenance led to its closing as a school in 2019 when the heating system failed causing water pipes to burst. This architecturally significant building that once was a center of community life is now sitting unoccupied and vulnerable to crime, vandalism, and arson, which has impacted other vacant structures across Gary, including other historic schools. A coalition including the Gary East Side Community Development Corporation, National Gary Theodore Roosevelt Alumni Association, Indiana Landmarks, and other key partners are exploring feasible reuse strategies for the complex now that it will no longer be used as a school. Repair costs are estimated to be at least $20 million, but with the right resources and investment, supporters hope to preserve Roosevelt High School’s legacy and with it, contribute to the ongoing revitalization of the City of Gary.

Education is powerful. It transforms lives. Check out this article about the legacy of Providence St. Mel School and its impact in Chicago:
“I don’t recall exactly the first time I saw the lawn outside Providence St. Mel School, or Paul J. Adams, III—the man responsible. It must have been sometime in 1974—back when Afros and bell-bottom pants were signs of the times and the struggle to lay hold on the American dream still seemed ever elusive for Blacks in America… What I do recall clearly is the notion that grass wouldn’t—couldn’t—grow on the West Side: too poor, too ghetto, too far from the fertile soil from which sprouts the stuff of American dreams.” In this blog post, originally published by Providence St. Mel School alum John W. Fountain, learn how one man’s perseverance, vision, and determination to serve some of Chicago’s most disadvantaged students became the legacy of our grantee partner, Providence St. Mel School: https://lnkd.in/eN8P42Dv #johnsonscholarship #providencestmel #educationforall #chicagoeducation #equalopportunity #chicago #westside

Lane Education Service District and Southern Oregon Oregon Education Service District (ESD) were recently awarded an excess of $2.6 million in grant funding from the Oregon Department of Education through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER III) fund. With this new funding, Lane and Southern ESDs have partnered with the Mid-Willamette Education Consortium to create and pilot Team Oregon Build, expanding upon the existing Career and Technical Education (CTE) Programs already operating in these regions. The expansion encompasses areas impacted by recent wildfires, including the Southern Oregon Education Service District and Mid-Willamette Education Consortium. Team Oregon Build (TOB) is an innovative partnership between education, industry, state, and community to introduce youth to career pathways within high-wage and high-demand construction trades. Education and Community partners from three Oregon regions dramatically impacted by wildfire and homelessness launched this career-connected learning and disaster/crisis response initiative.

Advancing Environmental Justice and Public Health 3.0 through policy and systems change. Views expressed are solely my own.
Excellent reporting on the Gault Middle School legacy from the Weekly Volcano and my community hero Stephanie Smith, MSML. Views below are my own and not representative of my workplace. This school was once connected by a small stair case down the gulch to the First Creek Neighborhood, where homes bult on Puyallup Tribe Land are nestled between freeways, the casino, where the Portland Avenue Community Center has welcomed generations of families. Like First Creek, our neighborhood on the Eastside was pushed into a blindspot by the construction of I-5. Low enrollment in the 100-year old school was what caused it to close, after neighborhoods were mowed down in favor of highways, parking lots, tourism. Since then, the entire Eastside from Pacific to Portland has been an ongoing case study in #environmentaljustice where divestment, pollution, poverty, crime, have shaved decades off of people's lives. Highlights from the article "Spilling the Tea on Jawless Jerry and the Gault Middle School Saga": - The outdated sewer system in McKinley neighborhood was one of the killing points for redevelopment of the school into 500 units of housing + retail amenities for the neighborhood. - An underground storage tank full of heating fuel has never been properly drained since the property closed in 2009. -All the neighbors on one street segment have started experiencing neurological diseases, including Alzheimer's. -The property was just outside the boundary of eligibility for the multifamily tax exemption, another killing point in the redevelopment plan. -Surrounding neighbors stock up on Narcan in their adopted role of stewarding the property and all the issues that come with it. On the human element, Stephanie collected neighborhood stories on their experiences from the school. One writer talked about being a student who showed up soaking wet from walking to school in the rain. The staff were unable to find anything in the lost and found to fit him, so one took him to go shopping for dry clothes on her own dime. That's the spirit that inspired me when I moved to East Tacoma. A spirit of abundance, caring, and generosity to share whatever we have and only take what we need. We don't do this work under an organizational identity, or when we are paid to. We do it in quiet networks that exist on the way to the store, knocking on each others doors, mining social media posts, when children are in danger on our porches, in alleyway confessions, when people park to sleep in their cars, when night falls and our streets and parking lots are filled with people who have no where to go...we do it human to human. Every place has a story that no one knows but the people who are writing it every day through just living. #eastside #prettygrittycity All hail the underdogs, the resilient who just keep going and healing 💝 https://lnkd.in/g4VUVEBy
