Concluding remarks

Today, we’re listening to a recording of my conversation with Tony June from February. Tony is the high school music teacher at AGCS, and he and I have been friends since we met working on an Arts Fest video in 2018. I really enjoyed talking with him and learning more about his history and teaching philosophy. And I hope you enjoy listening.

Krista Lauterwald is an agriculture teacher at the AGCS State Rd. campus. She operates and maintains the micro farm and invites students to learn about and experience a variety of activities featuring plants, animals, and aquaponics.

Today, I’m joined by Jeremiah Stone, AGCS high school math and science teacher. I enjoyed talking with Jeremiah about his love for math and science, his role at Charter, and his journey in life. We recorded this conversation on Zoom, so please forgive some of the audio inconsistencies and please enjoy.
