If schools are a portal to every need of a neighborhood, how do we rally around schools to help students and families thrive?
It starts with building connections and relationships at places like the School Connect Summit! (Coming Soon in February 2027!)
Be on the lookout for official dates and ticket info! In the meantime, explore sponsorship opportunities by connecting with Jerry Withers at jerry@schoolconnectaz.org. See you in February!
This February at the School Connect Summit, educators and leaders from businesses, nonprofits, faith communities, and local government will come together to meet one another, share ideas, and explore ways to help more students across Arizona reach their full potential.
Our hope is that you`ll meet someone who understands a challenge you’re facing—or discover that what you have to offer is exactly what students need to discover their own gifts and leadership capabilities.
We hope you’ll join us!
Watch for registration and early-bird details coming soon. In the meantime, if you or your organization would like to help make connections possible through Summit sponsorship, contact Jerry Withers at jerry@schoolconnectaz.org.
Want to make a difference in education this weekend? Join your neighbors, educators, and students at an upcoming Love Our Schools Day event!

When the costumes get put away....
Who helps our kids see the courage they have without the cape?
The creativity that goes beyond the costume?
The gifts they haven’t quite discovered yet?
That’s where the village comes in!
A teacher notices that the quiet student has something important to say.
A business owner introduces a teenager to work they never knew existed.
A neighbor keeps showing up until a child begins to believe, “Maybe I really do matter.”
Sometimes someone else sees a possibility in us before we can see it ourselves.
Our kids are watching how we see one another, too.
There is plenty competing for our attention. Plenty inviting us to make quick judgments about people we haven’t sat down with or stories we haven’t heard. But around a school, we have an opportunity to practice something different.
We can pull up a chair.
Ask a better question.
Listen to someone whose experience is different from our own.
Find something we can do together for the children we all care about.
What might our kids learn about who they can become by watching whom we choose to be?
This Halloween, enjoy the costumes, the big imaginations, and the very serious explanations of everyone’s special powers!
But when the costumes are put away, let’s keep noticing the potential that’s already there…
A gift worth encouraging.
A voice worth hearing.
A future worth investing in.
