Communities In Schools will be in 5 Uvalde campuses through the summer to support a healing community of students and teachers. Grateful to @cishouston, who will be part of the first week of support. Tomorrow is day one 🙏🏽

[Mike O'Brien @MOB00]

As a community of youth-supporting organizations, we remain committed to the collective work alongside young people to dismantle the racism-fueled hatred and violence that terrorizes our country. There is no other way forward.

[Mike O'Brien @MOB00]

As we close out this week, our hearts remain heavy as we mourn the lives lost in Buffalo. It continues to be incumbent upon each of us, as individuals and organizations, to combat the scourge of white nationalism.

[Arne Duncan @arneduncan]

This is how you transform the trajectories of entire families and communities.
Extraordinarily inspiring leadership by ⁦@janicejackson⁩ and her board of directors- thank you!

Congrats!!

[Sonja Santelises @SonjaSantelises]

I shed a lot of tears today. 100 young people - many of whom others had written off- made me, their families and their city proud today. They graduated despite the odds to show us their greatness. You all are my “Why” 💎 💎😭😭👏🏾👏🏾

[Mike O'Brien @MOB00]

Congrats @rey4sa & @CISNational! So incredibly well-deserved!!

[Rey A. Saldaña @rey4sa]

There is so many people that have written the @CISNational story, and there is still much more to tell. “This is not a moment it’s a movement.”#AllInForKids

TOMORROW: @CISNational CEO @rey4sa joins #CBSMornings for a game-changing announcement for the education non-profit, which helps students navigate issues in and out of the classroom.

My last story of the year comes out of Bethlehem, PA, where this fall a courageous principal, and his staff and students, allowed me tell one of the most important stories of our time.

Important report from @TheCOVIDCollab

[COVID Collaborative @TheCOVIDCollab]

As the #COVID19 crisis continues, a report we released today shows that 167k+ children have lost a parent or caregiver to COVID – with loss falling disproportionately on younger children and children of color. Our country must come together to help. https://t.co/Qh3xuf8qGY

Thank you @JohnMBridgeland for this beautiful reflection on General Powell's legacy of impact through his work at @AmericasPromise https://t.co/abg07LPzMX

[David Shapiro @dshapMENTOR]

Great day at @summerlearning conference. In @SecCardona convo w/ @margbrennan, he called 4 focus on relational loss alongside learning loss. Discussed a shift from leaning on teachers more 2 schools leveraging community partners & adding helping professions w/ intentionality. 1/2

[Chris Jansing @ChrisJansing]

Colin Powell's son closes a stunningly beautiful and deeply personal eulogy saying he's often asked if they make people like his dad anymore. And he calls on us all to "recommit ourselves" to making sure we allow that to happen.

[Kelly O'Donnell @KellyO]

Beautiful, dimensional and moving eulogy by Michael K Powell for his father General Colin Powell, I understand how hard it is to find the words and he did it with grace and inspiration. The nation is grateful for his father's service.
