It was so great to learn he’s 26 now, has a job, and hangs out with his friends on his days off. My student graduated a few years ago from Sullivan High School and has been participating in community since. My former student is on the spectrum.

7 years after leaving the beautiful Sullivan community, im reminded of the beauty, inclusivity, and community we shared. So grateful for my former student for taking the time to say Hi.
Happy this reminder came during Autism Awareness Month.

The arts provide a pathway, a space, a catalyst for students to express themselves and grow as creatives, impacting the world and society we will become. So proud to celebrate our students and teacher this #artsinourschools month.

“I forget that whenever there’s an event in the city you’re there with no less than a few hundred kids.”
This made me smile this week. I’m so thankful to those who taught me how to bring our students to show up and show out in safe, educational, and fun way. #LeadershipMatters
