"If I could choose to be somewhere right now, I'd choose this place." - Jean Voigt

Every child walks into a classroom with a unique story, but it's the rare educator like Jean Voigt who ensures they all leave with a shared feeling of triumphant self-worth. As we chat with the Minnesota Teacher of the Year semifinalist, Jean unravels her heartening journey through the educational landscape, unveiling the personal touches that make her classroom at Kennedy Community School a haven of growth and positivity. From a morning welcome to the intentional building of student confidence, Jean's approach is a lesson in the profound impact of love and belief in a child's potential.

The launch of our school podcast is a celebration of voices, ideas, and the shared moments that infuse our every day with a bit of classroom magic. We leave our listeners with a heartfelt appreciation for Jean's story and an invitation to contribute to the unfolding narrative of our vibrant educational landscape.
