But
then
a
great
part
of
my
role
is
to
work
with
lots
of
different
partners,
both
in
the
school
system
and
outside
the
school
system
to
plan
for
summer
programs
for
thousands
of
children
across
the
district
I've
been
here
in
Anne,
Arundel
County
for
almost
25
years
and
I
am
proud
to
have
served
my
career
here
and
continue
to
work
with
our
communities
in
great
ways.
Perfect.
A
And
I
know
when
we're
together
we're
off
often
talking
about
academic
success,
enrichment
for
our
children
or
our
students,
just
the
mental
activity,
the
physical
activity.
You
know
when
you
think
about
all
of
those
things
we
just
talked
about,
and
it's
really
just
the
well-being
of
our
student
right,
the
students
just
in
the
circle
and
all
of
the
supports
are
all
around
the
student.
You
know
what
do
you
look
at
when
you're
planning
a
summer
programming
or
how
do
you?
B
So,
there's
a
lot
that
goes
into
that
right
and
engaging
students
and
families
is
both
a
personal
and
a
professional
goal
of
mine.
Our
students
in
Anne
Arundel
County
have
an
access
to
a
variety
of
different
programs
during
the
summer
again,
both
in
the
schoolhouse
and
with
Partners
in
our
communities.
So
we
have
partnered
with
offices
our
Cultural
Arts,
environmental
literacy.
A
I
know
one
of
the
partners
that
we
work
with
in
Food
Service
often
is
Recreation
and
Parks,
so
they're.
Also
at
the
table
with
you
right,
they're
you're,
looking
at.
Where
do
they
have
I'm
going
to
call
child
care?
I
don't
know
if
they
always
call
it
child
care,
but
I'll
call
child
care
right.
So
where
else
do
they
have
those
programs?
And
then
how
can
we
partner
together
either
on
the
curriculum
right
or
the
enrichment
side,
as
well
as
the
free
meals
right.
B
Absolutely
so,
in
some
of
the
identified
14
Elementary
sites,
we
do
partner
with
parks
and
recs.
Sometimes
they
do
have
that
full
day
summer
program
or
child
care
that
Services
the
community.
They
also
have
week-long
camps
and
programs
that
are
accessible
through
their
website
as
well.
Those
Again
cover
a
variety
of
fun
arts.
They
have
a
chess
Camp,
a
music
camp
and
being
able
to
work
with
them
and
have
them
in
our
schools
really
builds
our
partnership.
Yeah.
A
They're
part
of
they're
really
part
of
the
school
right
or
that
Hub
being
the
center
of
the
community
they're
right
there
with
us.
Absolutely
so
I
think
your
task
at
hand
is
huge
because
you
have
to
look
at
and
I
think
we'll
talk
about.
How
do
we
Market
it
or
how
do
we
communicate
it
first,
but
then
can
we
talk
about?
How
do
you
decide?
B
It's
a
lot
there
are.
There
are
a
lot
too
yeah,
so
communication
is
huge
right,
which
was
one
of
the
great
opportunities
I
have
in
this
position
is
to
partner
with
our
Communications
office
directly
with
our
business
managers,
our
school
principals
and
our
school
secretaries,
and
also
the
aacps
website,
so
being
able
to
get
Flyers
out
there
directly
to
our
schools,
partnering
with
parks
and
recs.
They
share
our
information
as
we
share
their
information
on
the
Carousel
of
the
aacps
website.
B
You
will
see
the
summer
programs
application
process
up
on
that
site
when
that
is
available
and
you're
right.
There
are
many
many
hands
that
go
into
the
decisions
around
facilities
with
the
97
different
programs
that
we
have
going
on
that
encompasses
667
sessions
that
are
available
to
our
students
again
pre-k
through
the
end
of
high
school
in
12th
grade,
and
the
process
of
choosing
those
locations
starts
very
early
on
absolutely
with
a
debrief
of
the
summer
prior.
But
then
we
bring
all
of
our
great
stakeholders
to
the
table.
B
We
bring
our
partners,
we
bring
facilities,
preventative
maintenance,
food
nutrition
services
technology,
everybody
to
the
table
to
debrief
to
see.
Where
were
we?
How
can
we
move
from
good
to
Great
to
look
at
what
those
processes
are
to
serve
our
students
and
our
communities
better?
It's
really
important
to
look
at
all
of
those
plans
and.
A
I
think
it's
funny,
because
I
think
you
just
you
said
something
that
I
think
for
a
viewer
watching
is
very
interesting.
So,
throughout
the
year
we're
talking
about
summer
planning
for
summer
debriefing
on
the
past
summer,
right,
I,
I.
Think
it's
it's
the
part.
That's
amazing
and
it's
amazing
to
me
like
when
we
and
you
know
School
meals
or
summer
meals.
It's
the
same
thing.
We
we
talk
right
to
you
and
to
the
partners
of
how
things
worked,
but
we're
also
looking
internally
like
what
did
the
menu
do?
A
Does
it
work
when
it
goes
out
on
a
mobile
meals?
Can
you
package
it
correctly?
Does
it
stay?
Does
the
hot
food
stay
hot?
Does
the
cold
food
stay
cold
like?
What
could
we
do
better?
So
I
think
it's
important
for
our
viewers
watching
that
it
might
be
summer
programming,
but
summer
programming
is
a
full
year
commitment
to
make
it
great
for
the
students.
B
B
How
can
we
make
this
better,
but
also
we
have
to
take
time
to
celebrate
what
went
well
right,
delivering
meals
to
thousands
and
thousands
of
our
students
and
families
during
the
summer
is
something
that
we
need
to
celebrate
and
being
able
to
partner
with
you
to
make
those
appropriate
choices
of
areas
that
have
greater
need
are
accessible
to
our
students
and
families.
And
then
our
students
may
have
an
opportunity
to
not
only
receive
that
nutrition
that's
needed
during
the
summer,
but
also
enrichment
or
academic
support
and.
A
We
talk
often
about
this.
You
know
outside
of
the
show
today,
but
typically
summer,
meals
are
provided
at
a
site,
a
School
site,
and
it
could
be
an
outside
partner
right.
It
could
be
either
for
us
inside
or
external,
and
they
have
to
have
free
and
reduced
priced
eligibility
over
50
percent.
So
for
someone
watching,
that's
like
half
of
that
population
in
the
school
is
in
need
right
or
at
a
poverty
level.
A
That
would
indicate
free
meals
if
you're
doing
programming
in
a
school
right,
because
you
have
some
in
schools
that
might
not
meet
that
50,
but
the
family
might
be
saying
watching
this
right
now.
I
really
need
these
meals
right.
The
bell
rang,
School
ended,
but
I
still
have
hungry.
Family
I
still
have
that
the
stress
of
what
food
costs
right
now
and
how
do
I
provide
best
for
my
family?
They
can
come
to
an
open
site
and
receive
the
meals
right.
B
And
that's
what
I
think
is
great
about
our
relationship
is
that
we
have
common
goals
right.
One
in
particular
is
finding
or
developing
innovative
ways
to
reach
students
during
the
summer,
whether
that
be
their
need
for
meals
during
the
summer,
but
also
academic
programming.
We
recognize
that
during
the
summer
things
may
be
a
little
bit
more
tough
school
is
out.
B
A
A
and
I
I
probably
gave
it
only
I
was
saying
a
few
hundred
I
had
no
idea,
it
was
really
I
mean
I
knew
it
was
a
lot.
But
what
are
some
of
the
highlights
and
and
I
know,
they're
all
very
special
to
you
right,
but
just
you
know,
I'm
trying
to
think
like
we've
seen
everything
because
they
are
academically
driven,
but
there's
some
that
are
Arts.
A
Yes,
are
driven
right
or
dance
or
I
I,
don't
know
you,
you
probably
know
them
all
very
well
I'm
giving
them
a
disservice,
but
just
share
a
little
bit
about
them
and
then
again,
how
do
you
connect
with
the
person
at
Anne,
Arundel,
County,
Public,
Schools
or
Chesapeake
Art
Center?
How
do
you?
How
do
you
do
that
connection?
How
do
you
you
know
it's
all
about
relationships?
We
say
it
all
the
time
and
you
do
it
so
well
share
a
little
of
the
highlights
and
then
how
you
do
that
connection.
B
So
it's
certainly
intentional
right.
There's
intention
around
building
that
relationship,
especially
being
new
to
a
position
being
in
the
system
for
an
extended
period
of
time.
I
do
leverage
some
of
those
relationships
that
I
have
built
over
time
to
try
to
bring
new
and
exciting
things
to
our
students
during
summer
programs.
There
are
so
many
programs
that
we
don't
even
have
enough
time
to
mention
them
all,
but
we
are
looking
at
the
whole
child
again.
Academics
is
something
that
people
think
of
often,
but
even
in
our
academic
programs.
B
With
our
elementary,
we
include
our
Cultural
Arts,
our
students.
Do
you
have
that
physical
activity?
There
is
an
art
element.
There
are
certain
things
that
support
all
of
our
social
emotional
learning
competencies
playing
board
games.
Having
students
engage
building
that
Community,
we
recognize
that
need.
You
did
mention
the
arts
dance,
music,
Visual
Arts.
We
also
have
activities
that
take
place
at
Arlington,
Echo,
again
supporting
what
we
do
during
the
school
year,
but
also
training
up
some
of
our
middle
and
high
school
students
to
be
counselors
and
to
come
back
and
support
those
elementary
students.
B
A
And
you
mentioned
Pre-K
I,
just
think
for
a
parent
watching
that
has
a
you
know,
a
three
I
guess
soon
to
be
four-year-old
right.
I
guess
would
be
our
time
age
line
for
that
if
they
were
watching,
they
should
also
write
if
it's
near
summer
or
if
it's
approaching
summer,
to
check
that
website
out
right
to
go
to
aacps,
because
I
guess,
if
they
haven't
entered
or
I
guess
they
probably
are
already
entered.
It's
probably
our
Pre-K
students
that
are
already
injured,
I
was
thinking.
I
was
probably
thinking
outside
of
that
thinking.
B
Wait
what
a
great
opportunity
for
us
here
to
remind
those
parents
who
may
be
seeing
this
who
do
have
young
students
at
home,
three-year-olds
four-year-olds
in
aacps.
We
did
launch
eight
Pre-K
three-year-old
sites
this
year
and
we
do
continue
to
grow
our
four-year-old
program
as
well
so
those
times
throughout
the
year
again.
Springtime
is
the
time
where
we
want
to
keep
our
eye
on
that
Carousel
of
that
aacps.org
website,
so
that
you
will
see
those
registration
events
that
are
happening,
those
timelines
for
our
students
to
get
involved.
B
Our
summer
program
is
specifically
for
our
four-year-old
pre-k
program,
so
those
leaving
four-year-old
Pre-K,
but
we
do
look
to
expand
that
in
the
future,
again
I
believe
in
starting
small
that
we
get
things
right,
make
it
right.
We
we
build.
We
we
build
that
foundation
so
that
we
can
expand
on
what
works
to
do,
to
bring
in
an
even
greater
Community
Partnership
yeah.
A
I'm
gonna
have
to
tell
a
little
story
just
for
the
viewers
and
for
you,
so
the
three-year-olds
I
had
the
opportunity
to
be
in
a
school
the
other
day
and
we
knew
we
were
going
to
look
at
the
serving
lines.
So
for
somebody
watching-
and
you
know
we
try
to
make
all
of
our
schools
look
alike
right.
So
it's
a
brand.
A
We
want
students
of
Anne,
Arundel
County
to
say
when
they're
here
they
know
they're
having
school
meals,
School
nutrition
from
Anne,
Arundel,
County,
Public,
Schools
the
lines,
look,
the
same,
the
same
plate,
the
same
menu
items
that
students
test
and
try
and
and
tell
us
they
love
them
or
they
don't
really
like
them.
And
then
that's
when
we
look
to
take
something
off,
but
we
were
in
a
school,
they
had
the
three-year-olds
and
we
encourage
all
the
time
our
students
to
fill
their
plate
with
fruits
and
vegetables.
A
Well,
wow,
I,
laughed
and
I
was
like
I,
never
saw
a
three-year-old
so
excited
with
so
many
fruits
and
vegetables
on
that
plate
and
I.
Think
the
joy
of
what
we
get
to
do
is
they
get
to
try
it
all.
They
don't
have
to
take
a
half
cup
of
peas,
I
mean
and
I'm,
not
belittling
peas,
but
we
don't
serve
peas,
but
you
might
not
want
a
whole
half
cup
of
them,
but
they
could
still
just
dabble
and
try
and
to
see
the
sparkle
in
their
eyes.
A
A
I
think
we
communicate,
we
educate
the
whole
Community
when
we're
doing
this
right,
so
our
three-year-old
might
go
home
and
say
to
Mom
or
Dad
I
had
for
the
first
time,
cauliflower
I
thought
it
was
great.
I
really
would
like
you
to
have
some
cauliflower,
or
can
you
buy
cauliflower?
So
we
always
say
we
cultivate
communities
of
wellness
and
it's
one
student
at
a
time,
because
that
one
student
is
going
to
tell
one
brother
or
sister
they're
going
to
tell
Mom
and
Dad.
They
might
tell
an
aunt
or
an
uncle
or
an
extended
grandmother
grandfather.
A
B
A
Let's
talk
about
our
partnership
a
little
bit
and
then
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
other
partners,
because
I
think
what
you've
done
with
Summer
programming
has
been
amazing
that
you
really
made
sure-
and
you
touched
on
it
but
I'm
going
to
have
you
probably
expand
a
little
bit
more
on
our
meetings
that
we
have.
You
talked
about
starting
looking
at
Summer
right
when
you
know
you
do
that.
Debrief
right
when
summer
ends
talk
about
how
you
meet
with
us
monthly
and
there's
questions
for
facilities.
A
There
could
be
questions
for
transportation,
somebody's,
probably
saying
why
transportation
there
could
be
questions
for
Recreation
and
Parks
or
the
outside
Partners.
So
you
touched
about
it,
but
let's
talk
about
a
little
bit
further
and
then
how
you
know
I
get
to
sit
at
that
table
with
you,
and
you
know
you
hear
our
voice
as
well
from
the
school
school
nutrition
side.
B
So
Community
is
important
right.
We
talk
about
communities
that
surround
our
schools
and
Community
here,
even
at
the
board
of
education
and
in
central
office
is
extremely
important
as
well.
So
these
monthly
meetings
bringing
again
our
team
from
facilities,
Transportation,
preventative
maintenance,
food
and
nutrition
services,
our
leadership
from
parks
and
recs
and
other
areas,
because
everybody
touches
these
schools
technology.
B
We
have
to
be
able
to
create
a
foundation
and
have
everyone
at
the
table
to
have
those
discussions
around
program
choice.
We
have
to
have
facilities
that
are
accessible
to
our
families
that
serve
the
purpose
for
the
programs
that
we
would
like
to
have.
They
need
to
have
the
the
facilities
that
actually
serve
right.
That
actually
can
hold
what
we're
looking
for.
B
But
it
truly
goes
beyond
that,
even
in
just
our
monthly
meetings,
we're
building
a
community
of
Learners
with
with
our
leaders
in
in
these
areas
to
make
sure
that
we're
all
on
the
same
page,
we
make
sure
that
we
all
understand
what
our
North
Star
is.
What
our
goal
is
during
the
summer
and
being
able
to
communicate
like
that
on
a
regular
basis,
allows
us
all
to
make
the
best
decision.
A
And
it's
all
of
our
voices
heard,
which
you
just
you
know
as
I'm
going
to
say
the
chair
right
of
pulling
us
all
together.
You
listen
to
everybody
and
we
all
get
to
share
either
successes
of
what
we
know
works
and
how
do
we
really
replicate
it
or
I
always
say
R
rip
it
off
and
replicate
it
to
put
it
somewhere
else
or
how
do
we
really
steer
away
from
something
right?
A
So
if
we
know
it's
not
going
to
be
conducive
for
us
in
food
service,
for
whatever
reason,
maybe
they're
getting
a
new
serving
line
or
a
new
oven,
we
should
try
to
stay
away
from
that
school
and
I.
Think
it's
nice
to
to
talk
early
and
then
really
align
in
the
schools
and
the
programming
to
the
perfect.
B
A
Talk
a
little
bit
about
my
stuff
so
and
then
we'll
talk
about
the
meals,
but
our
staff
and
food
and
nutrition
service.
You
know
I,
say
it
all
the
time
I'm
the
luckiest
supervisor,
because
they
are
Second
To
None,
the
best
in
the
country,
they're
they're,
the
best
in
Maryland
hands
down,
but
I
really
believe
that
they
get
the
a
plus
for
the
whole
country,
but
for
somebody
watching
they
might
think.
Well,
of
course,
your
staff
work
in
the
summer
and
food
and
nutrition
staff,
don't
so
in
the
summer
they're
scheduled
off.
A
So
we
ask
them
if
they
would
like
to
come
back
and
work
for
us
to
serve
students,
we've
seen
it
during
the
pandemic.
We
see
it
every
summer
for
over
25
years
we
say
we're
ready
to
open
a
site.
Can
you
come
back
and
work
for
us
and
without
a
doubt
they
raise
their
hand
and
they
come
right
in
right
and
they're
ready
to
do
it
and.
B
You
know
staff
who
could
have
the
summer
off
to
come
back
and
serve
their
communities,
or
even
some
of
them
come
back
and
serve
different
communities
than
they
serve
during
the
school
year
and
none
of
these
programs
would
be
in
place
to
serve
students
and
families.
The
way
we
do
if
it
weren't
for
our
food
nutrition,
kitchen
staff,
both
at
central
office,
but
those
school-based
staff
really
make
it
happen
and.
A
I
love
that
they
I
mean
they're
raising
their
hand,
I
think
we've
done
it
for
so
many
years
now.
They
know
so
they're
already
saying
Jody.
Are
you
looking
for
any
help
this
summer,
so
we're
already
having
them
feel
out
to
us
before
we're
even
asking
them,
but
it
really
does
it
makes
the
program
work
for
us,
because
without
them
it
wouldn't
work.
There's
too
few
of
us
in
the
central
office
to
be
able
to
service
and
assist
all
those
schools,
all
those
programs
and
all
those
students.
A
B
So
again,
that's
thousands
I
mean
there
are.
There
are
going
to
be
thousands
of
students
who
come
through
our
doors
each
and
every
day
our
elementary
sites
can
range
from
about
100
to
even
up
to
400
our
secondary
sites,
including
our
secondary
summer
school
you
know,
may
may
hit
a
thousand
or
even
over
that
with
the
wide
variety
of
programs
that
we
offer
some
being
one
week.
Some
too
some
may
stretch
four
weeks
at
a
time.
B
A
And
when
we
do
our
meals
each
summer,
we're
in
the
hundreds
of
thousands
of
meals,
which
is
really
really
it's
just
amazing-
the
Bell
Rings
we
feed
them
all
year
and
it's
summer
break,
but
it
doesn't
mean
that
they're
still
not
hungry.
You
know,
we
know
we
feed
them,
breakfast
that
healthy
breakfast,
a
great
lunch
every
day,
nourishing
their
bodies
nourishing
their
minds,
and
just
because
that
bell
rang-
and
you
already
talked
about
it-
we
wait
until
the
following
Monday
and
we're
open
for
business
and
we
serve
those
I.
A
B
And
we
know
the
benefits
right:
the
benefits
of
good
nutrition
on
their
health,
their
health
benefits,
their
their
academic
benefits
and
we're
always
looking.
How
do
we
prevent
some
of
that
summer
slide
and
people
may
not
think
about
the
food
and
nutrition
that
is
needed
to
keep
our
students
healthy
while
they're
away
from
us-
and
so
you
know
again
the
opportunity
to
to
partner
to
continue
to
grow
this
program
to
support
our
students
in
a
variety
of
of
different
ways.
B
A
A
So,
like
you
said
it
really
does
it's
the
Hub
of
that
community
and
it
allows-
and
it
affords
those
families
the
opportunity
to
walk
over
to
that
school
and
to
pick
up
that
free
lunch
and
you
know
they
eat
it
in
the
school.
So
it's
a
great
hot
entree,
it's
all
their
favorite
items
that
they
have
all
school
year.
So
we
really
take
pride
and
we
don't
alter
anything
if
they
love
the
taco,
we're
gonna
make
sure
we
have
the
taco.
They
love
the
pot
stickers,
we're
gonna
make
sure
we
have
pot
stickers.
A
So
it
really
is
the
same.
You
know
food
that
they
get
to
see
all
year.
Long
now,
from
your
standpoint,
like
looking
at
I,
think
you
talked
about
like
the
health
benefits
and
obviously
the
mental,
but
you
get
to
see
those
School
meals
and
you
get
to
see
the
excitement.
When
the
students
come
down
to
see
you
know
what
we're
offering,
either
in
a
summer
site
or
in
an
open
site.
You
know
what
do
they
say
like
what?
B
B
They
were
always
talking
again
with
the
opportunity
to
go
through
that
line
to
to
make
those
choices,
good
choices
around
what
they,
what
they're
going
to
eat
for
the
day,
but
again
them
coming
together
in
the
summer
sites
I
think
it's
great
that
they
come
into
the
school
building
and
they
are
eating
together.
They
they
get
to
interact
with
your
wonderful
staff,
they're
coming
into
the
school
building,
so
our
great
secretaries
front
office
staff,
sometimes
our
school
counselors.
B
Our
principals
are
there
during
the
summer
to
build
that
positive
relationship
with
families
and
for
those
students,
family
members,
whoever
it
is
to
leave
that
day.
Having
had
a
good
experience-
and
we
know
that
it's
important-
that
our
children
have
fun
engaging
experiences
inside
the
school
building,
because
that
makes
them
want
to
come
back
tomorrow,
the
next
week
and
throughout
the
year,
no.
B
Again,
I
go
back
to
that
common
goal.
That
I
think
you
and
I
have
that
we're
finding
and
developing
innovative
ways
to
reach
our
families
so
those
open
sites
that
may
not
be
out
of
school
again.
We
recognize
that
there
are
students
and
families
who
rely
on
those
School
meals,
each
and
every
day,
so
being
on
the
low
look
out,
keeping
keeping
an
eye
out
again
on
aacps.org
on
the
on
the
carousel
on
our
Twitter
pages,
so
that
all
of
our
families
know
where
those
open
sites
are.
