Discovering a modest, under-resourced school in a rural setting sparked a profound realization in me: education is not just a right but a beacon of hope for many. Amidst modest surroundings, the students' eagerness for knowledge inspired a deep sense of purpose and commitment in me. This experience propelled me towards initiatives aimed at bridging the educational gap in less accessible regions. By volunteering, organizing fundraisers, and utilizing social media to spread awareness, I've seen firsthand the transformative power of education. Each student's progress and joy reaffirm the value of our collective efforts. However, the mission of giving back extends beyond individual endeavors. It's a societal imperative. Whether it’s through education, health, or environmental efforts, everyone has the potential to contribute. Your actions, no matter how small, can have a significant impact. What's your story? Join the conversation below and let's inspire one another with acts of kindness and dedication. Together, we can craft a legacy of hope and progress.

Let's break down the two main words of our philosophy.... positively impact. Positively... impact. How would you describe in your adult life what it means to positively impact your life? For the teachers at TDN, it's as simple as three words: Learn, Listen, Care. To Learn: to learn from each other is not just the children learning from their peers or the children learning from the teachers. At Toledo Day, the teachers are learning from the children. We are observing them in their environments, not rushing them through materials or projects. We are letting them get messy and explore textures. We are letting them work independently and together. After all these moments have happened, we are reflecting on what we learned from the children. Did we learn that a cat has four or five legs? Did we learn that a structure in the block space is a tower for animals to live in? Did we learn that when we put paint on our hands and push them together, it makes a funny sound? All of these moments happen organically in our spaces, and it's intentional. When we fill the children's days with clutter, noise, and constant redirection/schedule change, we're disrupting their rhythm. It is our job and our goal to learn your child's rhythm so they can be their most successful selves in the classroom. This #givingtuesday2023, help Toledo Day by starting a fundraiser. Each dollar in our program is invested into the children and their education. We want children and families to walk through our programs, knowing our spaces are clean and the materials are in good shape.

Have you noticed the craziness on college campuses??? Particularly for parents of young women heading off to college in the fall, I offer a 2-hour program dealing with the external and internal risks they'll be facing while away. This is not about "kick and punch," these are strategies to address such things as: * Safety on/off campus * Safety working off campus * Spring/Fall breaks * Reckless roommate concerns * Navigating social events on/off campus * PROTESTS/PROTESTERS on/off campus * Early warning signs of dating "Mr. WRONG" * Is he dating 'you' or your bank account This covers areas of the physical, fiscal and social. I offer this to small in-home groups (parent hosted), #PTA, #church or other #nonprofit organizations as a 50/50 fundraiser, or to any #insuranceagent #insuranceagency #insurancecompany #insurancebroker #financialadvisor #wealthmanagement firm seeking to provide "added value" to your client relationships or prospective client recruitment. If interested, simply reach out and let's talk as the upcoming summer time until late July is optimal for this event. Parents *WILL* appreciate it! #defensebydesign https://lnkd.in/etCSRVXx

🤔 How did your school teach you about the concept of giving back? As well as, the organizations & nonprofits that are involved in those efforts? In this episode of Gens Lens, we had the Chair of Upper School Theology Dept. at St. Agnes Academy, Christine Giles, as our featured guest. She shared with us what she has been teaching the new generation about #nonprofits and the stories from those engagements. As we listened to the stories, we touched upon the evolution regarding the concept of giving back, throughout different generations. #genz #genalpha #nextgen
