In this Building a Beloved Community podcast episode, we honor Ms. Stone, a kindergarten teacher whose quiet strength and steady presence helped shape the Bellevue and Clyde Hill school community in the late 1950s. Through a conversation with former student, retired airline pilot and citizen’s rights activist Don Chapman and Editor of The Daily Scrum Donovan Martin, listeners will hear how her kindness, patience, and belief in every child created a foundation of belonging that still guides our district today. Don’s reflections reveal how a single teacher’s influence can ripple across a lifetime, shaping values of inclusion and humanity. This episode connects Ms. Stone’s legacy to Bellevue School District’s ongoing commitment to building the Beloved Community—where every student is seen, supported, and inspired to thrive.
