On January 18th, our school embarked on a unique and inspiring journey through time and experiences with the launch of our video series, "Overcoming Obstacles." The series featured courageous past students who shared their educational experiences, the challenges they faced, and the triumphs they achieved during their time at The Community School.
A Glimpse Into the Past
Rosbel Franklin, Athena Castillo, Julia Caruso, Owen Fox, and David Rotenberg, remarkable individuals and alumni of The Community School, took center stage to recount their educational journeys. Through the Overcoming Obstacles series, they generously opened up about the challenges they and their families encountered, providing valuable insights into their growth and development during their time at our school.
Bravery and Inspiration
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Rosbel, Athena, Julia, Owen, and David for their exceptional bravery in sharing their stories. Their narratives touched the hearts of present students, families, and staff, fostering a sense of connection and understanding. By shedding light on the obstacles they faced, they have become beacons of inspiration, demonstrating that perseverance, courage, and the support of The Community School community can lead to remarkable achievements.
Connecting Generations
The Overcoming Obstacles series serves as a bridge between past and present, connecting different generations within The Community School family. The shared experiences and lessons learned create a strong sense of unity and a reminder of the enduring mission that guides our school. It was a powerful reminder that we are not just a school but a community that thrives on resilience, support, and shared goals.
Inspiring the Future
As we reflect on the impactful stories shared in the series, we hope that our present-day students find motivation and strength in knowing that challenges are not roadblocks but stepping stones to success.
