Today was a big day. We won 1st prize in this year's Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey’s U Got Brains Champion Schools Program. Born from tragedy, we made our advisor proud with our campaign to make roads safer in honor of her Stella.

You can juggle the Parkway, Turnpike, and a Wawa run, but texting while driving? Not even a Jersey driver’s got time for that! Keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.

Author @neilhimself proposed that for Halloween, we give each other books. I'd give out IT by @StephenKing because I read it in high school and it still haunts me. #MRHSreads #AllHallowsRead #inspirereading

For this year's Teen Read Week, I recommend Speak by @halseanderson because it shows Melinda having the courage to find her voice- an important lesson for us all. #MRHSreads #TRW22 #inspirereading @NEHSXpress

"Censorship, literary or otherwise, threatens diversity and puts those in the marginalized communities at a disadvantage. The only way to put a nail on its coffin is to actively fight it." #nehs4ss bookriot.com/?p=493193&fbcli…

All kids deserve #fREADom to read. Art Spiegelman won the Pulitzer for his family graphic memoir Maus, but McMinn County TN schools think it should be banned. In history, book banners are never remembered as good guys. @MariaLovesWords @NEHSXpress #mrhsreads
