As the nation entered into the throes of World War II, Harrisburg was prepared to answer the call of service. Prideful as a “beehive of industry,” the city was a hub for wartime manufacturing, railroads and distribution. Bond drives attracted celebrities such as Abbott and Costello as locals enjoyed “Coffee MacArthur” and “Doughnuts Doolittle” for breakfast. Market Square's Caplan's collected empty toothpaste and shaving cream containers in rationing efforts. The local Pabst Blue Ribbon plant stopped canning, and the Harrisburg Coca-Cola Bottling Works ran out of sugar as everyday products became rare luxuries. Nearly 540 area service members lost their lives in the war, leaving Harrisburg to honor their legacy for generations.

Creating a virtual school for learners in Harrisburg - Face to face since august, but offering other options. Zoom sessions all day wouldn’t work well. Distance learning playbook. We really partnered with out parents. What does the model look like today? Math, reading, writing time, experiential flex time. 20–30 minutes small group instruction. New weekly schedule personalized for each child. Really careful with how we schedule families. How to make our schools nimble. Lots of fighting with kids when they are home. Kids can be in breakout rooms to have some additional support. We need to think about what is important. We are moving at a snail’s pace compared to what we can do in a classroom. It has really forced our kids to ask questions. With any shift in education, it really comes back to our mindset. How can we still provide a learning opportunity for these kids? The “What if” question changes our perspective. We need to allow teachers to make decisions Lead Like a Pirate - People are less likely to destroy something if they help build it. Kinder teacher distance learning - morning and afternoon group. Reflect, grow, and do it again It comes down to feeling valued Giving them time to wrestle with what is and isn’t working. That love of learning is going to be gone. It’s not about your kid vs the rest, it’s about their own personal growth. If anything, the comparison hurts some of our kids by preventing them from reaching their fullest potential. How to be a transformative principal?
