Mommy actually works, too?

We typically use this blog to keep friends and family updated on Sam and Caroline's escapades, but since yesterday was a big day for Mom, we wanted to share a little bit of professional news, too!

For about a year & a half, Tracy's been working on a big project for a group of private funders in Jacksonville who want to work together to strengthen the pipeline of great teachers & leaders coming into public schools and avoid losing so many of these great teachers during the difficult first few years.  She's worked with private donors, the school district, national consultants, and about 8 billion local stakeholders to develop the plan for what to DO with this money.  Yesterday was the big launch day!

Now that this project has launched, Tracy is finishing her consulting gig with The Community Foundation and turning even more attention to the fun new adventure with DO SOMETHING GREAT TODAY!  Stay tuned...in between holidays and birthdays and zoo trips with the kiddos, maybe we'll remember to keep you updated on it. :)
