Mark Zuckerberg Wife Priscilla Chan Are Opening A Free Primary School
Mark Zuckerberg Wife Priscilla Chan Are Opening A Free Primary School.
Priscilla is a doctor and going to start a Primary school in Silicon Valley town. She also working over the past year with the community to combine early-childhood through 12th grade education with pre-natal support and on-site healthcare for children.
Mark official announced in his FB Page,
"I'm so proud of Priscilla for starting The Primary School -- a new kind of school that brings education and healthcare together.
Health and education are closely connected. When children aren't healthy, they can't learn as easily. Many kids and teachers across the country deal with the consequences of poor health in classrooms every day.
Priscilla has seen this in her work as a pediatrician and a teacher, so over the past year she's been working with our local community to set up a new type of school in East Palo Alto. In addition to early childhood and K-12 education, The Primary School will also provide prenatal support for families and on-site healthcare for children. By bringing healthcare and education together in one place, the goal is to support families and help children from underserved communities reach their full potential.
On a personal note, it's inspiring to see Priscilla grow as an entrepreneur and leader. I'm looking forward to watching with pride as she develops The Primary School into a great resource for our community.
