In this very special episode, Jay Barron passes the mic to Lower School Administrative Assistant (and unofficial mayor of PD) Dee Smith! Known for knowing everyone on campus, Dee sits down with Shavonn Perkins (Second Grade Teacher), Amanda Matthews (Third Grade Teacher's Assistant), and Reagan Pacheco (Lower School French Teacher) for a hilarious and heartfelt conversation about life in and out of the classroom.

From laugh-out-loud student stories and unforgettable teaching mishaps to quiet moments of doubt and unexpected paths to purpose, this episode is full of honesty, warmth, and wisdom. You’ll also hear what these educators are up to outside of school, what they’d bring to a deserted island, and some surprising “two truths and a lie.”

It’s a celebration of friendship, joy, and the people who help make PD feel like home.
