MSN November Meeting Recap

This week’s network meeting offered a meaningful opportunity to reflect, analyze, and connect as we continue to explore our partnerships across schools and community organizations.

We began by reviewing summer student placement data, which helped us identify emerging trends and patterns across schools. These insights shed light on which schools may benefit from deeper engagement, additional recruitment efforts, and intentional relationship-building.

Our discussion then shifted to current OST (Out-of-School Time) partnerships with both public and charter schools. Together, we explored what’s working well and where we have opportunities to grow.

To close our session, we took a moment for personal reflection asking ourselves what role each of us can play in fostering a reciprocal partnership with schools. We challenged one another to consider not only what we can receive from our collaborations, but also what we can give as individuals and as a collective network to ensure our relationships with schools are mutually supportive and impactful. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who showed up with vulnerability, honesty, and openness. Your willingness to reflect and share truthfully contributes to our ongoing growth and the strength of our network.
