Never have I been so proud of my school as I am now! Today was the last day before Spring Break, knowing that we always do food bags for our students when we have a break, a company sent two big trucks full of produce and food. Our staff and students started working and getting bags ready for the kids to take home. After our kids left and had as much as they wanted, our hall was still full. So, we posted it out to our Facebook page. For 3 more hours, staff and students handed out boxes of food.

We actually had some students asking their parents if they could stay and help. Staff members who had already put in a full day of work, worked so hard to help or community.

Aww this is so sweet! Thank you so much for sharing. What do your food bags consist of? We don't do anything like this at our school, but we should! We have lots of kids who face food insecurity when not at school.

It started small, but we partnered with Catholic Charities and other companies. Most of the time, there is some type of bread, canned food, snacks, breakfast items, canned tuna/chicken, etc.

Sounds like something our school would do as well!

My district had a “Souper Bowl” challenging another district to a canned food drive for our local food pantries. It went on for three weeks. At the beginning of week three, my school had 133 cans. A group of students took it upon themselves to go to all the local businesses asking for donations. Then they crossed into another state and did the same thing. Our final count was 14433 food items. The other district raised about 6,000 making the total over 20,000. The real winner here was the community and the food banks, who were full.

These events take the focus to a community level. Students forget about their needs to try to help someone else. However, students remember what they are going through, and it makes them more passionate about helping others. I like the name of the drive you had. It would definitely be a great drive to do around the Super Bowl time frame. 😀

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me. Should I be concerned (I.e., will this reflect poorly on me, come review time? Will I have dug myself too much of a hole if I keep burning my non-billable hours?) I’ve been asking partners if I can assist in any projects so I can fill my plate, but I’ve only gotten small (4-6 hour) tasks handed my way.

DO YOU JUST ASSUME THE COST OF YOUR MARKETING ACTIVITIES? I am looking to allocate their cost in the marketing budget in a way that won't rely on several layers of assumptions. How do you reliably estimate the cost of different marketing activities (email, social, web, etc) when you don't have specific people or tools allocated to each function and costs are spread across many channels? Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
