Thank you…There are few words that can describe the pain of the education community in Texas right now.💔

[TX Assoc for Lit. Ed @TXLiteracyEd]

So saddened to have to share one of these graphics (again)TALE Friends. We are a literacy organization,but the safety and well-being of teachers and students is also important to us. No fancy message,beyond the fact that we are heartbroken about the tragic losses in Uvalde today.
