I get paid to read and talk about books. I’m making it my mission to prove tattoos and professionalism can coexist.

One of the hardest working teachers I know is moving from her role as a PreK para to her own classroom as a Kindergarten teacher! I can’t tell you how much I depend on her for our 21st CCLC and summer program. Help her #clearthelist! https://t.co/4HRGuM8OrN

He said he wanted to dunk the ball—and he did! 🏀 #21stCCLC programs offer free, safe, and enriching out-of-school learning that supports students and gives parents peace of mind. @afterschool4all @UPES_Leads @nakelya @TCSBoardofEd @LBlevins_ @MikeDaria

[Kandi Massey @bookishkandi]

21st CCLC programs give parents peace of mind, prevent risky behaviors, and help kids develop academic, communication, and social skills. Send a message to Congress and tell them #AfterschoolWorks for your community! https://t.co/07c1B3CMK8

[Kandi Massey @bookishkandi]

Summer so far 🖤

[Afterschool Alliance @afterschool4all]

1,393,988 kids. That’s how many rely on a 21st CCLC program. If Congress does not stop the President’s call to cut all dedicated federal funding for local afterschool and summer programs, that # drops to ZERO. Go to https://t.co/sltJ5DS30X TODAY to take action! #AfterschoolWorks

[Kandi Massey @bookishkandi]

Summer learning is almost here, and that means it’s time for a #schoolmakeover! Help us give students an immersive experience by transforming our school into a Nickelodeon—style studio. Right now ALL donations are doubled! @LBlevins_ @TCSBoardofEd
