AHL’s “Mentee Meetings” downtown are some of my very favorite— all the #CPSbest #TrustyHuskies new to the building (+ our instructional coach who mentors our brand new teachers) get together to talk about the important things. Tonight? Marigolds! You know what I’m talking about @BethWhitaker2 💛

When the world feels loud:
Love your family
Befriend your neighbor
Go outside
Get some exercise
Invest your time in your community
Go to Church and say your prayers
Choose joy

While final numbers won't be available until October, we know for the upcoming school year @MoEducation will be up to at least 182 four-day school week districts---adding Kennett, Campbell, Ash Grove, and Smithton this year---35% of all public non-charters schools in MO. Most adopt because of the teacher shortage, and they can't compete with wealthier districts on salary.
