Hidden Sparks

Last week, educators from 35 schools came together for the Hidden Sparks Retreat 2026: Navigating Difficult Conversations with Parents.

Through thoughtful discussion, practical strategies, and inspiring presenters, we explored how perspective-taking, empathy, and communication can strengthen partnerships between schools and families.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a day of learning, reflection, and connection. We are grateful to be part of a community so deeply committed to supporting every child. ✨

More highlights from the day coming soon!

Every student. Every day.
That’s the goal.

This summer, make it real.
