Sage Sage Studio Podcast: Prioritizing Service Projects

The episode focuses on the importance of service, discussing two upcoming service events - the Ronald McDonald Walk and a special project from the Virtual Learning Academy with Jen Gibson, the Curriculum and Events Coordinator at Sage Oak, and Carleen Maurer, Assistant Principal for the Virtual Learning Academy. Jen shares about the experience of Sage Oak participating in the Ronald McDonald House charity walk, which supports children and families who rely on their life-changing services. Benefit from this charity helped shape personalized, home-based education options for a Sage Oak student battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Carleen speaks about a new initiative called 'One School, One Book', focusing on the book 'Long Walk to Water' which explores the struggle to secure clean water in third-world countries. She shares her personal involvement in building a water well in an impoverished community in Guatemala. The goal is to draw attention to global issues and contribute positively to them as part of Sage Oaks's core values.
