With another school year coming to a close, John and Bill sit down with some of the youngest and oldest students in the building: Pre-K learners just beginning their Maple Run story, and 8th graders preparing to step into high school. Through authentic, candid conversations, listeners will hear the wisdom, humor, and hope that come from both ends of the educational journey.  Students share reflections on their favorite experiences, the lessons they've learned, and the people who have impacted them the most. Whether it’s wide-eyed wonder from the Pre-Kers or thoughtful insights from the 8th graders, each voice brings something unique—and deeply human—to the story of growing up in the Maple Run community.  Questions included:  What has this year in Pre-K been like for you?  What’s been the best part of your time at Maple Run and why?  If you could change one thing about your school experience, what would it be and why?  Can you tell us about someone in the school system who’s made a big difference for you?

Shawna’s vibrant personality (and her 40+ pairs of fun, funky glasses!) make her a beloved part of the NCSS family.  Together, Danielle and Shawna talk about the 10th Annual Autism Awareness Walk, happening May 18th at Collins Perley—the only walk of its kind in Vermont! This full day of family fun will feature community partners, free neurodiversity resources, and lots of opportunities to celebrate small wins that are truly big victories.

Liz's journey in education spans across the globe—she has taught 1st through 6th grades in Alaska, Japan, Colchester, and now, for the past seven years, at City School. She originally joined as a writing teacher for grades 4-6 before transitioning to math, bringing her love of language, culture, and kids into every classroom she’s been a part of.  Liz's deep connection with language led her to Japan to learn Japanese, and her love for both language and children naturally merged into her teaching career. Raised in Alaska, she spent years moving between Japan and Alaska before settling in Saint Albans 13 years ago. She describes herself as a "bossy know-it-all," a personality trait she says is well-suited for teaching. More than anything, Liz gets kids—she understands their struggles, their joys, and their energy, and she finds endless inspiration in their curiosity and humor.  Her family is a huge source of her energy. Her husband, a former BFA employee, now owns KiaJu Kitchen, a beloved Japanese takeout restaurant in Saint Albans. Their two sons are musically inclined, much like their father. Liz, who played trombone until her senior year of high school, encourages her students to embrace music, dance, and self-expression without fear of judgment.  For Liz, "School is where my people are!" She thrives on collaboration with other teachers and is dedicated to creating a joyful learning environment, even when math isn’t every student’s favorite subject. She reminds us that while learning can be challenging, it should also be filled with laughter, connection, and a sense of belonging.  💡 Weekly Wellness Tip: Care for Yourself. Listen to Yourself. Grief, loss, and trauma affect each person differently - there is no single "right" way to respond. Your feelings are valid, no matter what they are. Take the time you need to process at your own pace, whether that means connecting with others or seeking solitude.  🎧 Tune in to hear how Liz brings energy, humor, and heart to her classroom every day!]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">002432d9-cee3-4f60-9d20-65f0d9848bcd</guid><pubDate>Sat, 22 Feb 2025 23:24:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/64517514/project_2038.mp3" length="21636537" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>MapleRun Media</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Episode 22 - Finding Joy in Teaching with Liz Sato 🎙  In this episode, John &amp;amp; Bill sit down with Liz Sato, a passionate and energetic 3rd &amp;amp; 4th grade math teacher at Saint Albans City School.
