Essential Question for Week Three: What are the roles and responsibilities of people in a family/community/world? It's the first week of the Summer Program, and we are off to a great start! In the next six weeks, students will explore these big questions (What is a family? What is a community? What is a world?) while also applying what they learned to their own community: East Nashville. This exploration will be experienced through daily Guest Readers, classroom discussions, weekly theme books, and a field trip.

When I first learned that I would need to complete an internship for my Masters program, I knew that I wanted to work with an organization that supported minority students with academics. by Emily Joy Allison-Hearn
As a first born to a stay-at-home mother, I had the luxury of being read to as a child, and even as a baby, each and every day, long before I could understand any of it. My mother read it all to me--The Chronicles of Narnia, Anne of Green Gables, Heidi, the American Girl series, and so much more. by Zain Murtaza Maken
As a child grows into an adolescent, it’s important to understand the building blocks of healthy development. The Search Institute has identified 40 developmental assets, and today, we’ll be focusing on one group of the internal assets - positive identity. by Jennifer Weinberg

“My brain hurts!” Have you ever heard a child share that statement? It’s not a headache; it’s not that they “physically” feel their brain hurting. It could be their way of expressing the stress they feel when they are overwhelmed. In my years of being an educator and working in school counseling capacities, I have found that young people face stressful situations just like adults. The only difference is my years of experience making the transition from my youth to adulthood: I’ve learned strategies to help me cope. Mark your calendars! Big Payback, a 24-hour online giving challenge hosted by the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, launches May 3. Last year, more than $2 million dollars was donated to more than 755 local nonprofits -- we’re excited to see what this year has in store for Nashville.
![]() by Brandy Fenderson, Executive Director At each of our East Nashville Hope Exchange family workshops, I stress to families that while I have a master’s degree in education, when it comes to being a parent, I am just like everyone else: I’m a work in progress. Yesterday, when I opened my daughter's kindergarten report card, I smiled when I saw all the "E" marks for Excellent, but then I saw the 'Notice of Concern' for my child's tardies. I felt a little embarrassed. How can I stand in front of ENHE families at our workshops and talk about the importance of getting your child to school on time, when it is a daily battle in my own household? |
