Raising HSE Podcast
HSE is proud to announce the creation of a new district podcast that will be aimed at our parents. The goal is to cover various relevant topics that will help our parents – in addition to sharing/promoting the work of HSE Schools.
The first podcast with Brooke Lawson and a few of our school counselors on virtual learning was just approved on Apple Podcasts! The podcast is called Raising HSE.
It will hopefully be up on Google, Spotify, etc. in the coming days pending approval.
If you don’t have Apple Podcast, you can also find it here on the web: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-q8v9v-f759c0
