Stopped by @EnlaceAcademy’s #HispanicHeritageMonth Art fair! The student art was beautiful and their team planned an amazing event. Love seeing how schools @TheMindTrust works with celebrate the culture of their students and families ❤️

There has been a lot of talk of Indiana schools getting in line with the science of reading, but Marian University has been sounding the SOR horn since at least 2017. I wanted to see what makes them special and what it looks like in schools. 1/

Thank you, legislators, for passing HEA 1001 & SEA 391! We are excited about the progress these bills make towards fair school funding, and are grateful for community members who shared their stories this session and for lawmakers and their tireless work.

🚨Statement on the passage of historic legislation🚨

"Today marks a big step in the right direction for tens of thousands of Hoosier children. All students, regardless of the type of school they attend, deserve fair funding. We are one step closer to making that a reality."

Marlin Jackson, founder of Fight For Life Foundation and former Indianapolis Colt, visited @SankofaSOS with @wrtv to look at how his foundation's newest program—Building Dreams—is helping students with social-emotional learning. https://t.co/5SJNlMKqvi

I was also super proud to see my colleagues Lauren Peterson and Patrick Jones honored at the celebration, along with other Black community leaders. They are incredibly deserving and I learn from them daily! ❤️

[Kateri Whitley @KateriW]

I am so grateful to have attended the @inventlearning Black History Month celebration today! Their students and staff put on an incredible program that included song, dance, art, and poetry. It was so beautiful!

Volunteering at the @TeachIndyNow Educators Conference today! 🌟 Super proud of @SMarshallIndy and her team’s work to execute this amazing day for teachers!!

[Kateri Whitley @KateriW]

That is one reason why I'm hopeful for legislation that can streamline this process and remove barriers to this amazing program. Thank you to @IndianaStand for creating a way for the community to share this ask with lawmakers! https://t.co/UuAaZNXJT5

I used to work for an Indy high school where most students qualified for 21st Century Scholars, which can be life changing. It was heartbreaking when I ran across a student who would have technically qualified, but didn't get signed-up by the middle school deadline.

[Kateri Whitley @KateriW]

Proud to work at @TheMindTrust!

[The Mind Trust @TheMindTrust]
