Sister School Programs for City/Rural Public Schools

Create a Sister School program within our public school system - through which large city-based schools pair up with small town schools to foster a sense of community between urban and rural areas in an effort to diminish divisiveness in the US. Students in similar grades can pair up as "Zoom Pals" (a modern equivalent to "Pen Pals" - and can spend an hour a week on a zoom call with their pal, allowing friendships to foster between young people in areas outside their own cultural sphere. Sister Schools can also share a number of resources, meetups could offer ideas for exciting field trips and other cross cultural integrations.

Love it. I have doughnut meetings with random folks in my 20k+ company, and I meet all kinds of folks that align with me, or not. But, we're on the same team. Broadening the support network never (?) hurts.
