We hope your pencils are sharped because you may want to take notes on this week's episode. In Episode 16: The Amy and Kourtney Show, we talk with two local educators, Dr. Amy Fast the Principal at McMinnville High School, and Kourtney Ferrua the Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment for the McMinnville School District.  We got to ask them what it is like to be a part of teaching our children and helping their fellow educators lead in McMinnville. There are so many layers when it comes to education, and in this episode we spend some time reminiscing about our own school experiences (it gets a little personal here), and check in to see how our kids and schools are doing. This is our longest episode yet, and we are so thankful to these two amazing women for giving us a peek into their day-to-day efforts to help make the McMinnville School District the best it can be. And we know they would want us to mention that they don't do it alone, there are hundreds of other educators, staff and volunteers working each day for our kids, and we hope this episode leaves you feeling some comfort. There is always work to be done, but when we do it together, we can help kids move mountains.
