Hi Principal Eberle,
My name is Kendra Van de Water and I am a licensed social worker who lives directly across from Sayre High School. I do a lot of work in the West Philly community with high risk youth regarding conflict resolution, youth violence, and healing from trauma. I have community partners such as the 18th district police department and I have implemented youth programs within some of the highest risk high schools across the city. I would love to talk with you and your team about some possible program implementation on a contract basis at Sayre. I know there has been a lot going on there, I talk with the students, and I want to help. Especially being a resident of the neighborhood and being really engaged with our teens, I hope we can meet. Please contact me by phone or email at (202) 290-5645 or mzvandewater@gmail.com. I know you are busy and I of course defer to your schedule. Please let me know if you are interested and if you have some time over the next few weeks to discuss or meet. Looking forward to hearing from you.
