Subject: [EXT] [aisle] Clemente HS Update...
Hi All --
I just wanted to share that Clemente High School is the recipient of the 2022-23 Heart of America NATIONAL grant!!!!  An announcement will be coming out shortly!

Out of 16,500 votes, Clemente received 7,000 -- nearly half the votes!!!

I can't thank everyone on this listserv enough for their help, support, love, and good energy.  This contest felt like a trust fall, and AISLE members near and far extended their arms to us.

I don't quite have all the words yet (for once :)), but please know, in my heart, I see each of you as the way pavers in this deep and important journey.

I'd love to share updates of the space, and I'll have more of a timeframe of things like the ribbon-cutting ceremony once the work is complete.

The support I have received from AISLE and its members has truly been a boulder of joy in my life.

Thank you for being my traveling companion,
-Andie
