In this episode, we were joined by Aaron Weddle, the new principal of Mitchell Elementary, to talk about his background, leadership journey, and educational philosophy.

Weddle discusses his focus on building community and relationships, creating a welcoming environment where every child belongs, and partnering with staff and families to support the whole child academically, socially, and emotionally.

He shares practical priorities—visibility, clear communication, and high expectations delivered with care—and leaves families with a central message: you matter, you belong, and you will succeed.
