In the last episode of Elevate, Rob had the chance to interview 3 teachers about their experiences during the quarantine.  This week he interviewed both students and parents for an upcoming episode,  One thing that was very clear from all those conversations is that people are missing and longing for connection to others.  So for this episode, he wanted to share an older interview that reminds us all of how Catlin Gabel brings people together. 

On November 3rd Catlin Gabel hosted a celebration of heritage and culture in the Cabel Center.  It was more than just a festival dedicated to performances, traditional & indigenous fashions, art, and food. It was an opportunity to send the message that all are welcome in our community.  During this in-depth conversation with Haleah Blank (parent & Heritage Day Coordinator) and Mimi Sei (parent & PFA President), Rob explores what it means to feel welcome at Catlin Gabel and how the annual Heritage Day mirrors a growing understanding and need for inclusivity and diversity.   As we are all trying to find ways to stay connected in this time of uncertainty this conversation reminds us why Catlin Gabel is such a special place.
