"In the work of education, we can't do it alone. We don't have all the ideas, but the people that are around us, the people that are across the street in those businesses or that may be in the classroom, setting up that they have answers to the problems that we had, and getting them at a table, getting them on a Zoom that we can actually support and serve our students in the best way possible with just knowing that you aren't in it alone. And to utilize the resources and the people that are surrounding you."
