Happy first week of school, CMSD! It’s hard to believe I’m not out capturing the smiles, high fives & hugs, but my heart is so full soaking up every moment with our beautiful daughter. It’s tough to put into words what my @CLEMetroSchools job meant to me, but I did my best❤️🎓...

Go see the 20th annual All-City Musical "42nd Street" in @playhousesquare this weekend! These students are so incredibly talented. Watch them bring this Broadway classic to life, one tap dance at a time! @clemetroschools

Today I had the honor of covering a naturalization ceremony at Lincoln-West Global Studies. It was incredibly moving. 40 new citizens representing 30 different countries and so much bravery and hope.

(Also, shout out to my mom who came through Ellis Island in the 1950s❤️)

Our hearts are so full ❤️ Happy Valentine’s Day from our growing family 💕

“Today we are guaranteeing that your dreams can come true.” - District CEO Eric Gordon #SayYesCleveland #SayYesCLE

[Shannon Kantner @ShannonKantner]

Students just found out that Cleveland is officially the next Say Yes to Education chapter, and their reaction was everything! The program brings college scholarships to CMSD students and the services they need to keep them on track to graduation 🎓 #SayYesCleveland

[Shannon Kantner @ShannonKantner]

Amazing energy at John Marshall! The whole gym is ready for a big update about Say Yes to Education in Cleveland! #SayYesCLE

[Shannon Kantner @ShannonKantner]

How cool is this (no pun intended)?❄️ Students from @MC2STEMHigh created original artwork that will be on display in Public Square for Winterfest! They installed them this morning in the wintry weather⛄️

District CEO Eric Gordon on “Rome wasn’t built in a day” analogy: “They weren’t just building for the day; they were building for the future. Similarly, CMSD has been building for the future too.” #CLEStateOfSchools18

[Shannon Kantner @ShannonKantner]

Ready for District CEO Eric Gordon’s 8th State of the Schools address! Lots of @CLEMetroSchools community partners, students and educators in the audience today. #CLEStateofSchools18
