In this episode, Cassie talks with Lisa Swanson from Morristown Beard School in New Jersey. Lisa is currently on sabbatical and using her time to give back to her students and to Educational Passages, starting with an adventure to Nantucket, Massachusetts in February. The reason for the trip is explained, as well as other plans for relaunches from North Carolina, Ireland, and even Portugal!
