Hello and Happy Monday, Jameson Fellows!
“The most powerful thing you can give another person is kindness.” - Fred Rogers
Punitive discipline doesn't build better schools. Understanding does.
Join us for the 2026 Annual Restorative Practices Summit, featuring keynote speaker Kevin Curtis - a nationally recognized consultant with over two decades of experience helping schools move from managing behavior to understanding it.
Built for practitioners already doing restorative work and ready to go deeper, as well as professionals looking to bring restorative practices into their school-based settings for the first time: classroom culture, family engagement, disrupting the school-to-prison pipeline, and addressing the compassion fatigue educators carry every day.
đź“Ť Las Vegas Country Club
🗓️ Friday, August 28, 2026 | 12:00–2:00pm | A complementary lunch will be provided.
Jameson Fellow, Renisha O'Donnell, M.Ed. is facilitating a Restorative Series at the Interfaith Contemplative Center. It's a monthly restoration experience open to all. Each session is unique and can be attended individually or as part of the full series.
25 Years Later: Never Forget Youth Day of Remembrance
Creating a Giving Culture LV is looking to lead a citywide youth day of remembrance, bringing together local K-12 students across Las Vegas to honor the lives lost, recognize our heroes, and ensure this moment is never forgotten. At the heart of this project will be a powerful, never-forget remembrance wall created by students and filled with messages of gratitude and reflection.
HOW CAN YOU HELP AND GET INVOLVED
We are looking to collect 4x6 cards. Please have the students write 1 or 2 sentences answering “Why is it important to remember 9-11?” or “How can our generation continue to honor those we lost?” Students can also add a drawing, and on the bottom, please write their name and grade.
We are looking to have K through 12 schools do one video with the entire school saying “WE WILL NEVER FORGET “this videos will be put together and played at the event.
