Congratulations to our 5th Summer Service teams to NOLA

I am so excited to be coordinating 2 outstanding teams to New Orleans as we continue with our 5th summer of service to the public schools of NOLA. The students, alumni and faculty, and supporters representing NLU, are greatly appreciated in NOLA, and recognized for our professionalism and caring to the needs of the teachers and children. Our service this year is with Harriet Tubman K-8 Charter school in the Algiers Parish. A take-over school by the NOPSD, our friend, and NLU almuni, Julie Lause, submitted a charter proposal under the new managment team of Crescent City Schools. We will work with Julie and her newly hired team of educators as we prepare the school for the new academic year. After 5 summers, and with returning service team members: Eunice Shapiro, Angela DiAgostino, Nina DiAgostino, Adrienne Waller, Kathleen Boyle, Shantel Baker, Erica Morales, Erin Bosman, Phyllis Coleman,Judith Hurwich, and Tyler Steinemann, supporting our new team members: Susan Bolton, Jeffrey Herning, Danielle Lappin, Theresa Majkrzak-Anderson, Emily Popescu, Jigna Shah, Jillian vanTuyle, Lillian Yawanis, Ken Zoline, Robert Zoline, Jeffrey Zoline, Sarah Susan Cortesi,Jennifer Hager,Lauren Helmick, Ryan Hoffman, Caroline Kim, Lauren Kornhauser, Marjorie Thomas, Frank Yang and Kate Zilla, we will make formidable teams. I am proud of their commitment to the work and to their eagerness to learn through service. Enjoy the reflective contributions we will be posting here.
