United Way of Erie County

Last week, I had the honor of serving as the keynote speaker at this year’s United Way of Erie County’s Annual Meeting! Their United Way is an exemplar of how community schools can drive both academic and non-academic outcomes. Their use of data and partnerships and collective investments is an exemplar that should be lifted up nationally. This is a testiment to Laurie Root’s incredible leadership and Michael Jaruszewicz’s focus on deep partnership with community and a culture of data. Well done! #CommunitySchools #ielconnects #education Institute for Educational Leadership

Tammy Rader, United Way Community School Director at Elk Valley Elementary recently received the 'Girard School District Token of Recognition'. This award acknowledges an individual's achievements, dedication, or exemplary service and serves as a reminder of the appreciation and respect of their peers. Tammy's work is a testament to the power of United Way Community Schools in creating opportunities and ensuring every student has the support they need to succeed. We are so proud of Tammy and the incredible difference she is making in the community. Keep up the amazing work! ???" #CommunitySchoolsInAction #CommunityUnited #Girard #EriePA
