Graig Weiss, CEO, Foundation Academies

Foundation Academies [https://foundationacademies.org/] "Our mission is to ensure that all of our students secure the academic knowledge and skills to prepare them for the nation's finest colleges and to instill in them the core values of caring, respect, responsibility and honesty." (FA)MILY FIRST We believe strongly in relationships. We love our students, our families, and the Trenton community. Even when we do not agree, LOVE is at the root of what we do and how we do it. As we have grown as an organization, we have intentionally kept our schools small so that relationships stay at the forefront. GROWTH-FOCUSED We believe in the importance of humility, recognizing that constant growth is necessary for all people. The Foundation Academies faculty and staff are working together to embody an ever-evolving organization committed to continuously providing a better education for our kids. We want them to embrace lifelong habits of adapting and growing by accepting that learning never ends. To accomplish this, we need to constantly reflect, learn, and challenge each other to be better. EXCELLENCE ALWAYS We believe in the pursuit of excellence in everything that we do. Our classroom instruction, our string concerts, our facilities: all of them should exude excellence. Our children deserve to be raised in that environment so they can thrive and reach their potential. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kimme-carlos/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kimme-carlos/support [https://anchor.fm/kimme-carlos/support]

Coronavirus: Who Asked for This?

We are a resilient people and we will get through this. We must get through this and get to the other side. The sunny side. Our children and grandchildren are depending on us to do so. Whenever calamity hits, we often feel helpless to assist. It’s a case of how do you eat a sunflower…one bite at a time. So, as we wrestle with the Coronavirus pandemic, I would like to encourage you to do a few things... --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app [https://anchor.fm/app]--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kimme-carlos/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kimme-carlos/support [https://anchor.fm/kimme-carlos/support]
