the city vibes, and get that valuable
Vitamin D this spring season!

work at CSDE. Margy and Despoina are beginning
in-person observation at schools again and remote
pilot studies with coaches and students. Anna has
been working with SO Texas to distribute surveys,
and she's pushing through despite difficulties with
COVID and the Texas freeze. Anmol and Key are
wrapping up the data mining and indexing process,
which has been daunting but worth the effort!
Regine secured UMass Amherst's Mt. Ida campus for
Camp Shriver, so campers will be returning to camp
this summer. And Staci's inclusive mindset paper
was accepted to the Journal of Adolescence -
congratulations to Staci and all!
Beyond the confines of our state-sanctioned Dell
computers, Afrina put together a lot of Ikea furniture,
Barbara hosted St Patrick's Day Camp Shriver Trivia,
and Despoina completed her first professional
organizing gig, all of which were huge successes!
