“When you take on something bigger than yourself, the universe helps you.” Dr. Joanne Woodard
This episode hit me right in the heart! If you listen through to the endwhen I read the poem posted in the hallway of the school, written by its namesake in 1948, you will see why. For this episode of The Principal’s Office Podcast, I had the chance to visit with Dr. Joanne Woodard, of Sallie B. Howard School in Wilson, North Carolina. This episode is a little different, whereas sometimes we've gone to schools and learn specifically, tactically how schools are doing amazing things that they're doing, in this case I talk to Dr. Woodard about the origin story of the school, and learn the answer the question: Who is Sallie B Howard? Well, what I learned surprised me and inspired me, and I think it will do the same for you. Please enjoy this fun episode of The Principal’s Office Podcast!
