What a treat it was for our G6 Ss to collect stories ideas on @TheMVSchool #MVmantras from some of their favorite school adults last week. This week: Watch interview vids to distill more insights - then on to student interviews. #ImpactReady #journeyofpurpose

In our inaugural G6 Survey class, our teacher @knowkmd’s Ss are *leaning into* some shared questions they have about our @TheMVSchool mantras. We can’t wait to see what they see for us to make of these.

Today, ⁦@trishbog1⁩ & I had such a good time working with the faculty at The Dewey Schools’ campus in Hanoi, Vietnam. The generosity, engagement, and vulnerability of the participants were a testament to the school’s strong professional culture. So much insight was shared!

Learning #DesignThinking is not a game at @TheMVSchool - except, you know, when it is. We love to see our teacher Dr. Wass prototyping all kinds of inquiry and fun with our G8 Ss.

Our G8 Ss are getting drawn in to all kinds of #designthinking mindsets with a mirror drawing exercise. “Have Fun” and “Be Brave to Try and Try Again” were the @TheMVSchool mantras of the day, for sure.

I’ve never endorsed a presidential candidate before. But this year’s election stands to be so enormously consequential for women and families that, this time, I can’t stay quiet. Women deserve a leader who cares about the issues they face and is committed to protecting their safety, their health, their economic power, their reproductive rights, and their ability to freely and fully participate in a functioning democracy. In this election, the contrast couldn’t be greater, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. I will be voting for President Biden. m-gat.es/4cv7SlW
