Leigh Pesko, Asst. Vice Principal
Building Wellness and
Community at Frankford
"I'm building a community around health and wellness through changing the mindsets on what it means to be a pioneer."
​
What is being a Pioneer?
​
"It's pioneering change, championing for one another. Philly schools get a bad rap. To me it means, building a foundation of support and respect for students and staff. "
​
"Pioneer is a champion of each other, not as separate componenets but tying it all together from the ground up."
​​
First, for a school community built around wellness to work, there must be builders to create a strong foundation. She and her staff team spent last year designing this innovative program and rolled it out in Sept.
