COREN News & Events
“Elk Meadow partnered with COREN as we endeavored to engage our families in a new and different way. The COREN team met and led our team throughout the whole process. They guided us through casting a big vision and then facilitated the planning down to the last detail for our event. We hosted listening sessions with diverse groups from our school community.
The information we gleaned will impact our decisions and growth for years to come. Parents left feeling heard and seen. COREN’s partnership infused this event with inclusivity and elevated the caliber of the experience, superseding anything we would have created independently. Our team walked away feeling inspired and so grateful for the work of COREN.”
