Join us today as we sit down with Leah Peck, Grassroots Coordinator with Love Your School. Leah always knew she wanted to be a mother. It was her biggest goal for as long as she could remember. At 28, she hadn't had any children yet and decided to look into foster care. In 2019, she adopted her son at 18 months old. Six months later, she met her husband who already had three children. Since getting married, they've fostered another child and their home has had an open door to many children. Leah had an interesting upbringing. Being raised in an ‘evangelical cult', women were expected to do nothing but ‘mother' children. Leah believes that naturally, she picked up some of her maternal instincts from this experience. She was the child of an opiate addict who unfortunately lost their life to their addiction. She lived a very ‘reactive lifestyle' until she reached parenthood and realized that she could live ‘proactively'. Leah is passionate about helping families learn about and explore school options to see what works best for them. Listen in with us today to learn more about Leah!Episode Highlights:Leah's story and background.What led her to Love Your School.How Love Your School has impacted Leah's parenting and life in general.Leah shares her favorite parts of parenting.Kim and Leah's hope for listeners.More on Love Your School/Links Mentioned in Episode:Visit Our Show Notes Page HEREKim@loveyourschoolwv.orgLeah@loveyourschoolwv.orgwww.loveyourschool.org
In today's episode, we dive in and learn about Kim Dully, Grassroots Coordinator with Love Your School. Kim is married and is a mother of 3 kids ages 9, 8, & 6. Kim's children attend a Private Christian School at which she and her husband were part of the planning committee.The mother of 3 is also the oldest of 3 kids. Things were tough for her family growing up, which eventually led to her grandmother bringing Kim, her mother and her siblings from San Antonio, TX back to Pennsylvania to be close to family. Her father followed. Over the years, Kim's parents worked many jobs, but their home was not a safe place. Her father struggled with alcoholism, and her mother suffered from mental illness. When Kim was 15 and a freshman in high school, her mother passed away. Determined to take charge of her future, Kim started taking college prep classes. When she was a senior in high school, she went to the school counselor for help getting into college. To her surprise, the counselor told her she just assumed she wouldn't be going to college. Despite this, Kim persevered and went to Penn State where she got her undergrad in Rehabilitation Services. College became her escape.While at Penn State, she took a lot of Education classes as she originally wanted to be a school teacher. Due to a GPA requirement, this didn't end up working out. Eager to rise above her circumstances, she then moved to Pittsburgh and went to Duquesne for Counselor Education. With an interest in child social and emotional learning, she eventually found her way to K-12 counseling.Kim has a passion for school choice, and is eager to help families in WV find the right options for their children!

Welcome to the We Have Hope Podcast where we will discuss school choice options in West Virginia, the Hope Scholarship, and more! Today, we are talking with Founder & Executive Director of Love Your School, Jenny Clark, to learn more about how the program was started, and where it is going!Jenny Clark was homeschooling her two young boys, and felt that something was ‘off'. A friend suggested that she have them evaluated. In the evaluation, she was told that the boys did not have any learning disabilities, but the struggles she was facing were due to them not having a ‘proper education'. This didn't sit right with Jenny, so she obtained two independent evaluations that uncovered the boys were experiencing dyslexia and dysgraphia. Jenny's experience inspired her to become an advocate for other parents and families to help make them aware of their rights and resources. She wanted to help them know what questions to ask. This calling brought her to start Love Your School in her home state of Arizona.Fast forward to two years ago, Jenny was asked by the Cardinal Institute to do interviews about the Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Account program. She was then invited by them to West Virginia to interview and report on the Hope Scholarship potentially getting passed through the legislature, but it unfortunately did not pass. One year later, the Hope Scholarship was passed, so Jenny started trying to get vendors from Arizona to start servicing West Virginia families. This began her desire to expand Love Your School to West Virginia. Jenny ultimately would like to launch the program in every state.Join us today as we dive deeper with Jenny and learn about what we can expect to come from Love Your School in West Virginia!Episode Highlights:Why school choice matters to JennyHow Love Your School startedWhat brought Jenny to WVWhere Jenny sees Love Your School in 5 yearsMore on Love Your School/Links Mentioned in Episode:Visit Our Show Notes PageKim@loveyourschoolwv.orgLeah@loveyourschoolwv.orgwww.loveyourschool.org

As the mom of five, Jenny Clark knows how different kids can be, even in the same family. Part of that difference is in learning styles and the needs of each child may call for different approaches. As a result, she uses a variety of schooling options for her own family, and loves sharing with other families about their options and helping them find the right fit for their kids. That passion led her to start the nonprofit Love Your School. She wanted to create an avenue for families and schools to share more about the amazing ways Arizona kids are learning, and growing, and loving their education – whether they are in district, charter, private, online, homeschool, microschool, learning pod, or receive an Arizona Empowerment Scholarship.
