Letters from the Lunchroom is a podcast that shows you a new side of Communities In Schools of Mid-America, a non-profit which provides support services for at-risk students. As someone who has worked with non-profits for the past 10 years, Victoria Partridge knows that people who engage with non-profits have a story to tell, and she wants to hear that story. From students to staff members, and alumni to volunteers, Victoria connects with people of all backgrounds to discover the journey they took which brought them to Communities In Schools. Join us in the lunchroom to hear these stories, which are always touching, occasionally heart-breaking, and often surprising.
In this episode, we talk with Jennifer Martin, Site Coordinator, and Jessica Griffin, Principal at Logan Avenue Elementary School in Emporia, KS. Together, they started the CIS program at this school in the fall of 2017. As we talk, they share the moments that made them laugh, the ones that made them cry, and the ones they learned from.
