Waverly Superintendent Kelly Blake has kept her school district healthy and functioning with zero outbreaks from intra-school contact. This episode she shares some insight as to how she’s done it.
School districts aren’t always the easiest things to manage, pandemics aside, but when you need to keep kids safe while ensuring their education the job gets even trickier. Fortunately for Waverly Community Schools, their superintendent is a seasoned educator and administrator.
This week we sat down with Superintendent Kelly Blake who’s in her 34th year of educating with 33 of those years being spent in Waverly. She talks about making game time decisions, getting students at-home internet access, and the impact COVID-19 has had on education at large.

Mezcal
The Arinato introduces, perhaps, a new side to mezcal. We’re all familiar with its bold taste, but this cocktail proves mezcal can be subtle and elegant. While its characteristic smokiness remains, it tastes more like a vodka. The mezcal is muted, but far from muzzled. However, if you find yourself in particularly glitzy mood, kick up the flavor by adding a little more Chartreuse and some grapefruit juice.
Ingredients
- 1½ oz. mezcal
- ¾ oz. Lillet Blanc
- ½ oz. dry vermouth
- ¼ oz. Yellow Chartreuse
- ½ tsp. Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur
- 2 dashes Peychaud’s Bitters
- Grapefruit twist for garnish
Preparation
- Add all the ingredients, except the grapefruit twist, to a mixing glass with ice and stir.
- Strain over a large ice cube in a rocks glass.
- Express the grapefruit twist over the drink and then rest the twist on the cube in the glass.
