I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Michelle Osterhoudt, Superintendent of Margaretville Central Schools, and it was an incredibly insightful conversation!

- The Importance of Community and Connection 🤝: We discussed how crucial it is for schools to foster a sense of community and for educators to truly know their students.
