A proposito di questo titolo

Community, Connection & Lifelong Learning | John Jay Harris on Special Education, History & Creativity | Roots and Branches of Lehi Podcast What shapes the heart of a community? In this episode of Roots and Branches of Lehi, host Ryan Harding sits down with longtime Lehi resident John Jay Harris, whose life’s journey—from Northern California to the foothills of Utah—has been defined by service, creativity, and a deep love for the place he calls home. John reflects on his upbringing, his family’s legacy, and the moments that helped shape his connection to Lehi. With warmth and humility, John shares insights from his decades in special education, including his transformative work with children on the autism spectrum. He opens up the philosophy behind an effective classroom, memorable experiences that stayed with him long after the school day ended, and the joy of seeing students succeed in their own unique ways. His reflections offer a heartfelt glimpse into the patience, compassion, and dedication required to support every child’s potential. Beyond the classroom, John talks about the creative passions that keep him grounded—photography, music, and rock tumbling—as well as his involvement in preserving Lehi’s history through the historical marker of society. His story is a reminder that the community is built through small acts of care, curiosity, and commitment over a lifetime. 📌 Love learning from the people who help shape Lehi’s story?
