Mary Louise Romero

Mary Louise Romero’s Professional Objective:
To explore a new challenge with an organization that places priorities on integrity, initiative and quality practices in the field of prevention, restorative justice, and building healthy communities.

Note from Summer Institutes Founder Coach Scott Ricardo: “At Santa Fe Public Schools, I attended a Restorative Justice Seminar featuring Santa Fe public Schools Director, Mary Louise Romero. Oh my, I was so impressed. SI alumni know that I can spot a 5-Star presenter, so you can imagine how fast I approached and asked Ms. Romero to present at my home area SI site, in Modesto CA! I am so excited to bring her to Modesto because she fits this year’s theme on teaching students to be at their best and learn how to self-manage. Ms. Romero started her career training famous athletes, including many NBA and NFL players, which is right up my alley!  My personal mission is to have her present across the country, along with my presentation on student self-management because I believe this is the first step to reducing our national teacher burnout crisis.”

“Raising a Heisman” 

From average Joe to #1 Pro:

He was snubbed by the school he wanted. He was benched by the school he got. Instead of lying down and giving up, Joe Burrow took that chip on his shoulder and hauled it along to a national championship, a Heisman trophy, and #1 in the NFL draft. Hear his parents’ story of raising the superstar who got knocked down but keeps getting up, and up, and up. Study Joe’s youth through his parents’ memories and ask yourself why did Joe overcome the fear of failure?

Casidee Dermond

Art with Cassidee

Growing up in the small town of Oakdale, California, I was introduced to art at a young age. Being a third generation artist made me a creative person and interested me in the fine art of painting. I can thank my family for being such a huge impact on my artwork and me. My paintings show the beauty I see in the world as well as giving the viewer an insight into my life. My intention is to simulate reality by using paint to portray the things I see in the world as beautiful in realistic terms.

Since 2015, Art with Cassidee has conducted sip and paint nights at it’s home studios and other locations. What makes Art with Cassidee special is it’s hands on approach to guiding people to expand their abilities to paint. Art with Cassidee will work with each individual painter to provide proper instruction so painters can walk away feeling as thought they did something they never thought they could do while having a great time doing it!

I earned a degree in Art Education with an emphasis in painting from Chico State. I started teaching High School Art in 2005. My students inspire me and I hope I do the same for them. Everyone learns the world around them differently and I believe art & creating help students think outside the box and appreciate the beauty around them. I love art & I love creating things. Whether it is decorating my house, growing ivy, or painting my interpretation of an image, my mind sees life as beautiful and as art.
