Episode 30 – Transitions and Reflections: From Pre-K to 8th Grade at SATEC

In this heartwarming episode of Tap Into Maple Run, John and Bill visit Saint Albans Town Educational Center to talk with some amazing students at very different stages of their educational journeys. With just 12 days left of school, excitement and reflection are in the air!

You’ll hear from four 8th-grade students preparing to take their next big step to BFA, and five pre-kindergarteners eagerly looking ahead to kindergarten. Through smiles, laughter, and thoughtful conversations, the students share what they’ve loved about their time at Maple Run, what they might change, and who’s made a lasting impact on their learning journey.

Questions included:

Looking back on this year in Pre-K, what has it been like for you?

What’s been the best part of your time at Maple Run and why?

If you could change one thing about your school experience, what would it be and why?

Can you tell us about someone in the school system who’s made a big difference for you?

The kindness, insight, and enthusiasm of these students shine through in every moment.

Stay tuned in the coming weeks as John and Bill continue these powerful student conversations at Saint Albans City School, Fairfield Center School, Bellows Free Academy, and the Northwest Career & Technical Center.

Same questions. Different students. All reflecting on what it means to grow, learn, and transition within Maple Run.
