We welcome Meridian teaching phenoms Jennifer Beshue and Lisa Thomas aboard our podcasting ship to talk about Meridian schools' unique, organic culture and how it benefits everyone involved. The pair break down the reputation of Meridian as a "family" and highlight the exceptional support they receive from other faculty. We brainstorm about what can be done to provide better resources for students outside of the school, and we're so grateful to receive their insight into the challenges and scenarios that young people face today. 

Our professional educators also discusses community engagement activities and the variety of district events scheduled in the future. The conversation emphasizes that learning to accept others and yourself is the fundamental building block toward becoming a successful adult.

 Lisa and Jennifer discuss the paths that brought them to Meridian and share no-nonsense testimony on how their own teachers helped them evolve into who they are today. By the end of our conversation, we understand why they're such a positive force at Meridian.
