Oh, what a year for our nation’s teachers!

School may look and feel different for students these days, but the strong and steady support you continue to show makes all the difference.

We appreciate all you do!

Happy Father's Day!

Fact: Fathers who read to their children at home have a unique impact on their child’s language development as they grow.

Remember: Fathers have an impact on literacy skills as well! Let's read! #sayYES

Why do these children know this song? 🤔

Consistency & Discipline (hearing the song several times & practicing).

The same zeal can be found in reading, learning vocab words, & writing.

Like @LilNasX said on his 3rd remix, I gonna READ til I can't no more! 😉

NEVER underestimate the power our children obtain. They can ALWAYS be educated, brought the truth, and allowed to be a participant (in some form or fashion) in their FREEDOM! #sayYES

It's the season of...

State Testing!
Summer Breaks!

And after all that is done, we must still continue to educate ourselves.

Run to literacy! No matter the age! #sayYES

Systemic racism will not be eradicated by individuals with good hearts. Good hearts/intentions will not obtain programs for students, provide qualified staff, appropriate class sizes, etc.

Only collective action will make a dent in that.

Our YES board member went on a much needed vacation and sent us this fabulous picture.

Palenque was the first community of free Africans in the Americas.

It was inhibited by Africans brought to Cartagena as part of the slave trade who managed to escape.

Building a strong foundation in literacy with our youth is not a sprint, but a marathon.

#NipseyHussle I just believe in ownership; I believe in investing in yourself; Your foundation should be strong.

Every person with autism is different, and their signs and characteristics will vary widely. However, most people with autism see, hear and experience the world differently from people who do not have autism.
