"Had an amazing time at Walnut Creek Trail in Raleigh as part of the #MountaintoSea program! Explored the area, learned about its history, conservation efforts, & how the community can get involved. Even tested the water to ensure it's clean and safe!" 🌿💧 #Conservation #Nature

If you hear on social media or other sources that resources aren’t in WNC & more aren’t coming that is totally FALSE!
Shout out to everyone supporting us because we know people across NC & 🇺🇸 are donating, volunteering, praying & doing so much. We know you’ve got our backs. 🙏🏼❤️

The State Superintendent leads thousands of schools & most importantly is a role model for tens of thousands of students. The actions of candidates for this influential office will have far-reaching consequences across NC’s schools.
