    Season 2, Episode 10: Honoring Respect & Diversity

    In Episode 10 of Tap Into Maple Run, we focus on the Maple Run Core Value of Respect & Diversity, exploring how empathy, understanding, and inclusion guide the work we do across our schools. Staff and students continue to model respect every day, creating inclusive spaces where every voice is valued and every person belongs. This week’s wellness tip is active listening, taking a moment to fully listen without interrupting or planning a response. Truly hearing others strengthens relationships, builds understanding, and fosters respect across classrooms, offices, and homes. Our featured guests are Madison Sanguinetti and Stacey Tully, educators at Fairfield Center School and certified Restorative Practices trainers. They share how Restorative Practices are used across Maple Run to resolve conflicts, build meaningful relationships, and support student leadership. Madison and Stacey also reflect on their work training colleagues, sharing strategies and insights that help embed empathy, respect, and collaboration into every part of school life. We also celebrate students, staff, families, and community partners who model care, inclusion, and respect every day, making Maple Run a place where everyone feels supported and valued. As we wrap up Episode 10, we reaffirm our Mission, Vision, and Core Values, especially Respect & Diversity, and thank listeners for pausing with us to reflect, listen, and grow together. Teaser for Episode 11: Next time on Tap Into Maple Run, we’ll explore Independence & Perseverance with Meg Jarvis and students who have overcome challenges, celebrating resilience, growth, and the power of breaking big goals into small, achievable steps.
