## Resource

Tammy and Gaia are joining you today for a thoughtful conversation about the value of community and the role we each play when those around us experience hardship and grief. In this episode, we invite you into the same conversations we’ve been having with our students: reflecting on how we care for one another, show up with compassion, and walk alongside others during difficult seasons. As we head into spring break, we hope this conversation encourages you to lean into the strength and support that community can offer. Hosted by: Gaia Altshuler - Social Emotional Counselor Tammy Kuku - Vice Principal Editing and Engineering by: Tyler Erickson - Educational Technologist
