Parents as First Responders

Cissy Pope

If you recognize the last name from a famed faculty member on Hammond's campus and all places wild, you would be correct in making the connection.  

Jim Mancke may not be transporting students over the river and through the woods, but this former school counselor entertained and enlightened our Hammond Ambassadors group.  

Jim shared stories of his time as a school counselor at McCallie including interactions with parents and students, many that best describe how we, as parents, are our children’s first responders in tumultuous times.
