#SMWay Podcast

by Daniel Bader

We can all learn something, right? The #SMWay podcast answers questions from South Milwaukee parents about education, how the school district operates, what challenges are in front of us, and what we as a community can do about it. When we're not answering parent questions, we're sharing what's best about our schools - our student successes, and our teachers' dedication.
