Sage Sage Studio Podcast: Prioritizing Service ProjectsThe episode focuses on the importance of service, discussing two upcoming service events - the Ronald McDonald Walk and a special project from the Virtual Learning Academy with Jen Gibson, the Curriculum and Events Coordinator at Sage Oak, and Carleen Maurer, Assistant Principal for the Virtual Learning Academy. Jen shares about the experience of Sage Oak participating in the Ronald McDonald House charity walk, which supports children and families who rely on their life-changing services.

Carleen speaks about a new initiative called 'One School, One Book', focusing on the book 'Long Walk to Water' which explores the struggle to secure clean water in third-world countries. She shares her personal involvement in building a water well in an impoverished community in Guatemala. The goal is to draw attention to global issues and contribute positively to them as part of Sage Oaks's core values.00:14 Introduction to the Podcast00:39 Meet the Guests: Jen Gibson and Carleen Maurer01:30 The Importance of Service at Sage Oak01:45 Upcoming Service Events: Ronald McDonald Walk and VLA Project02:02 Deep Dive into the Ronald McDonald Charity Walk03:59 The Impact of Ronald McDonald House05:53 How to Get Involved in the Ronald McDonald Walk07:14 Introducing the VLA Service Project: One School, One Book10:05 Carleen's Personal Connection to the Cause15:06 How to Participate in the VLA Service Project16:48 Wrapping Up and Looking ForwardFor more information, visit the Sage Oak website at www.sageoak.education.Thank you for listening to the Sage Studio podcast presented by Sage Oak Charter Schools and hosted by Tiffiny Webster, M.A.Ed.  We invite you to follow the show and leave your review below.  Sage Oak Charter Schools is an independent study nonclassroom based TK-12 personalized learning public charter school serving students in Southern California.  Visit sageoak.education for more information.Sage Oak WebsiteInstagramFacebookYouTube
