In this episode, we talk with Eric Hoops, Principal at Chanute Elementary School in Chanute, KS. Eric believes in the power of positive relationships for students, both within and outside of the school setting. Chanute Public Schools was recently recognized for exceeding the state's gold star graduation rating, which Eric states is partially due to the district's partnership with CIS of Mid-America.
Letters from the Lunchroom is a podcast that shows you a new side of Communities In Schools, a nationwide non-profit which provides support services for at-risk students. We know that people who engage with non-profits have a story to tell, and we want to hear that story. From students to staff members, and alumni to volunteers, our host, Victoria, connects with people of all backgrounds to discover the journey they took which brought them to Communities In Schools. Join us in the lunchroom to hear these stories, which are always touching, occasionally heart-breaking, and often surprising.
