In this episode of Brighter Together, I sit down with Mary Vandermolen, the superintendent of North Star Montessori Academy in Marquette, Michigan. With over 41 years in education, Mary shares her unique approach to leadership and the one question she poses to every staff member: "How can we better support our students?" We explore the significance of creating a nurturing environment that values every role within the school community, from teachers to bus drivers. Mary discusses her commitment to continuous learning and the importance of fostering connections among staff, regardless of their experience levels. Join us for an insightful conversation about the transformative power of education and the shared mission of uplifting every student.
