What our Corporate Leaders Say
“While riding to Drake Elementary, everyone is buried in their pocket computers responding to emails, texts, and Teams chats. The ride back is the complete opposite. We all talk about our students, what we read, and what we learned. We oftentimes laugh but struggle, too, when we hear raw and humbling stories from our students. The connections we make are deeper than sharing words on a page.”
