There is nothing more important than ending systemic racism in Des Moines Public Schools. @DMschools

[Mindful Classrooms @MindfulClassrms]

Yes. This! #blacklivesmatter

[Headspace @Headspace]

Mindfulness doesn’t mean not experiencing anger. It means seeing that emotion clearly. Headspace is a community of all races, and we stand with our members against racism and injustice. #blacklivesmatter
