Dreams do come true! For years, the dreams that led to today’s Future Ready Center have been on hearts and minds. Discussions have occurred, partners consulted, all with student opportunities at the forefront of every conversation. Pretty cool to see this become real! #wpsproud

This speaks to me on multiple levels. “Feeling discouraged? Help others.”
Helping our loved ones feel encouraged can lift their dark clouds and ours. #mentalhealth #parenting #Alzheimers #dementia #quote

"One in a billion,' somebody's gotta be the one." Andy Reid's left-hand man Porter Ellett knows how to face obstacles, and he's helping the @Chiefs do the same. #NFLFilmsPresents

Sanibel Island holds a special place in my heart. My prayers for safety go out to the wonderful people who make Sanibel and Captiva so magical.

I should not read Twitter at night when I can’t sleep. So many things really get my blood boiling. Tonight it was stories and posts about book banning. WTH! #letthemread

Continuing on my journey, stops 5-8 were at @HarryStreetElem, @wichitawesthigh, @WichitaNorth259 and Mueller Elementary. Great student engagement, safe schools, relationship circles, beautiful campuses, and art! Wichita has much to be proud of in our public schools 🎉 #wpsproud

This is the first in a great new series about the extraordinary human stories in the Wichita Public Schools. Well worth the time to watch!

One of the most amazing experiences I’ve been part of. What you receive will be so much bigger than the one hour a week you will give. PLEASE consider volunteering your time for this amazing opportunity!
As back to school season gets underway, we want to share a volunteer opportunity to the #Wichita community! You can help children better their reading skills through the Read To Succeed program. Swipe right to learn more! @WichitaUSD259 @wichitalibrary
