In this episode of Brighter Together, I sit down with Hannah Frink, the Student Success Coordinator at Perham-Dent Public Schools in Minnesota. We explore how her district is redefining success through innovative programs like BARR (Building Assets, Reducing Risks) and TalkingPoints, which are fostering deeper connections between students, staff, and families. Hannah shares her insights on the importance of grace in education, emphasizing the need for compassion amid the pressures of today’s fast-paced environment. With impressive results, including significant reductions in absenteeism and failure rates, Perham-Dent is setting a remarkable example of community engagement and transformation in education. Join us as we discuss how building trust and breaking barriers can create a brighter future for students and educators alike.
