Interpreter pause

Wednesday evening Lisa Dorner accompanied me to a parent meeting at SSDN.  This was the first outreach meeting that we’ve done where

1. half of the families were Spanish-speaking and half were English-speaking, and
2. we had a simultaneous interpreter!

Lisa could have easily interpreted for the Spanish-speaking families, but SSDN always has a bilingual staffer/interpreter available for their parent meetings.  It was reassuring and delightful to hear how excited both groups of families are about our schools.  And the presentation reminded me to practice my interpreter pause!

At last night’s school project group meeting families generated a list of new marketing/outreach ideas for this winter.  Hopefully we’ll get the list posted soon along with other notes and bright ideas.
