Season 2, Episode 11: Perseverance in Learning

from Tap Into Maple Run Hosted by Bill Kimball and Megan Grube

In Episode 11 of Tap Into Maple Run, we’re talking about Independence & Perseverance. We hear from students and staff about how they tackle challenges, stay motivated, and celebrate progress—one step at a time. Learning can be hard, but breaking big goals into small, doable steps makes it feel possible and keeps momentum going. This week’s wellness tip is all about micro-goals: don’t try to do everything at once. Take it one small step at a time, celebrate each win, and watch those tough challenges start to feel manageable. Our guests are Oskar Boyea, grade 5, Leah Marie Smith, grade 8, and Meg Jarvis, Home to School Coordinator for grades 5–8 at Saint Albans City School. They share stories of perseverance in learning and how students—and staff—stay motivated and grow through challenges. We also shine a light on the students, staff, families, and community members who model grit, determination, and progress every day. It’s a reminder that even small steps can lead to big accomplishments. Teaser for Episode 12: Next up, we’ll explore Creativity & Innovation, looking at how students and teachers spark new ideas, solve problems, and bring fresh thinking to learning and our community.
