 As hard as we work to educate students in the classroom, we know that effective education of the whole child only occurs when we work together as a school system and community. I’m thrilled to have a partner in Pelham Together with the same goals—to help our students make healthy choices, grow emotionally, and prepare for their adult lives.

Pelham Together is a unifying force that consistently pushes us to work together and strive for excellence. The 2019 Youth Leadership Summit was a resounding success. Judging by the students’ excitement and engagement, it is clear that they value concepts of empathy, caring relationships, responsibility, and community engagement The collaborative projects, spontaneous laughter, and thoughtful dialogue resulted in creative ideas that we look forward to implementing through the Pelham Together Club.

After seeing The First Day, which highlights Chris Herren’s work in substance abuse prevention, I contacted Laura [Caruso, Executive Director at Pelham Together], to recommend the film. She and her colleagues moved quickly to buy the movie and to investigate bringing Chris to Pelham to speak to PMHS students. The response was firm and her focus was clear — these activities will benefit Pelham and certainly bring Pelham together.”

The unscripted conversation (referring to a Parents Talk event) covered many issues that we as parents are facing right now. The intimacy of the group allowed women of different ages, cultures and backgrounds, to share their challenges. It was validating to hear that so many of us are going through, or have gone through, the same thing. I left with incredible insights, armed with great ideas on how to tackle some of the challenges, as our kids work their way into and through their teen years.
