On this Mother's Day, I am humbled, honored, and thrilled to share with you that the official Jane Schaffer Writing Program has become a new and integral division of Louis Educational Concepts, LLC. Jane's family and I have been in communication for many months, and the purchase was finalized in March 2011. This division is dedicated to Jane's memory and her life's work.
I lost my mother when I was 22, but I believe she has since watched carefully over me, sending a handful of strong women to guide me in the different areas of my life. I have always believed that Jane was one of those sages whom Mom sent.
Jane and I were friends and colleagues for years. Before she passed, we mused over many corporeal and incorporeal topics; however, regarding her professional life, we discussed how proud she felt that she was able to work with teachers to instruct both high and low performing students in effectively communicating their thoughts. Within days of her death, Jane was still discussing the future of her great passion and contribution to education that inspired and molded so many of us. I will do my best to continue her work, her vision, and her passion.
I welcome those of you who knew of Jane or her program to add your special comments and ideas for the future!
