In episode 44 of Putting the Pieces Together, Jennifer, Lorna and Kurtis connect with the recently “retired” Nancy MacLellan, who, while having the opportunity to cruise the world with her travel consultant husband Chris, has an equal amount of enthusiasm for supporting schools and staff looking to implement BLAST (Building Literacy and Supporting Teamwork) as a schoolwide intervention to ensure literacy success for all students.
