The energy in the room was truly inspiring and that energy grew more and more with each passing day. Together, we listened, learned, and collaborated. We heard powerful stories, bold ideas, and a deep, shared commitment to our students and the future of education in Wausau. This was more than just a conversation — it was the beginning of a community-driven movement. One rooted in partnership, purpose, and possibility.
