collaboration<br />

“Employees appreciate what<br />

is being done to keep them<br />

engaged <strong>and</strong> mindful at work.<br />

It’s always exciting to hear about<br />

the success someone has had,<br />

whether it be losing weight,<br />

eating healthier, seeing normal<br />

blood sugar <strong>and</strong> cholesterol<br />

ranges or even maintaining their<br />

budget each month.”<br />

Kourtney Martin ’15, tx.ag/kmartin<br />

“Engineering brings math <strong>and</strong> science<br />

closer to the lives of young people. We<br />

want them to see their world through<br />

the eyes of addressing significant<br />

problems <strong>and</strong> concerns.”<br />

MICHAEL DE MIRANDA, TX.AG/STEMTEACHERS<br />

COMMUNITIES<br />

“We’ve seen families struggle in<br />

the beginning. When we see the<br />

video of them closer to the end, it’s<br />

beautiful. It looks natural. The child<br />

is responding to the parent <strong>and</strong><br />

communicating better.”<br />

“WE ASK STUDENTS TO CHALLENGE THEMSELVES,<br />

TO THINK DIFFERENTLY, TO PUT THEMSELVES IN<br />

PLACES OF DISCOMFORT, AND LEAN INTO THAT<br />

SO THEY CAN LEARN MORE. WE WANT THEM TO<br />

LEAVE DIFFERENT THAN WHEN THEY CAME.”<br />

Dr. Krista Bailey, SAAHE Director
