This week’s #YourStoryMatters (https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/yourstorymatters?source=feed_text&epa=HASHTAG&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARCkShZdyKw56P66fquDaHZXXP2VCApAuPgw_iI-bygZRAo0xFhwpIZfGK2GZtjT5BA3yfZ1LyG4QNpm-7gIOF8qaUgAmqckbRNlTf0NLMJUTSvTon8rGQNOqrIo9tTVqxcLmOweYrAXwbKvY3wykSBf-BedAIZ_2Wkf6B0Kpt9iU-aiVGVaftp40_PcW1s-bm3JtrT0C3utmtm2xV8OfYkYIAzm3ul_aSmOFu7KSiog2-cx6hzYQt3OO5EdqhBE0ESs3g_fmAWWDaayCXxIVxnUP0EG9MogzRl24DMz4cPItgzq9byMvu53obY1a0s9APfX98onHkmg2iEuuw0Nya8kEg&__tn__=%2ANK-R) podcast features Curt Bly, Mason High School’s Varsity Baseball Coach who has taught English to MHS seniors for the last 22 years. Bly shares how he and his family are navigating the COVID-19 pandemic, and some of the ways he is leaning on #CometCulture lessons when helping his students and players process the loss that comes from a school year cut short, and a baseball season cancelled.
“There are things that happen in our life that are true perspective-creating events.”
Fatma Elmaery, Shaimaa Garaween and Brandi Holmes helped found the Lunar Moms, a group of Muslim-American Mason City Schools Moms. The Lunar Moms have spear-headed several efforts to give back to the schools through the Mason Schools Foundation, hosting a CommUNITY Iftar sponsored by Diversity Council, and providing children's books and resources to Mason teachers.
This episode of the Your Story Matters podcast was recorded before our country was impacted by COVID-19. A lot has changed since then - including the ability to hold the Diversity Council sponsored CommUNITY Iftar this year. For all of our neighbors who are preparing this week to enter the month-long holiday of Ramaddan, we know it will be different when breaking fast without friends and extended family. We wish you and all of our listeners good health.

Jeff shares stories of the people in his life who have made his passion for “saying something” about suicide very personal, and how proud he is to work with students who are ending the stigma around talking about mental health. As a dad of a recent graduate and a high school senior, Jeff shares how he and his family are navigating the COVID-19 pandemic - including how they are celebrating Passover during this time of social distancing.
