@nkellyIN I worry every day about the iREAD test. We have so many interventions in place for my 3rd grader, including outside tutoring. He has strong math skills but is really struggling with reading. I believe a standardized test should not be the deciding factor in holding a child back.
Our final #IBJHealthCareExcellence honor — the career achievement award — this morning goes to Dr. William Goggins at @IU_Health, who has performed more than 3,000 kidney transplants. Congratulations!
This is Hannah Everson. The IU senior held onto her Taylor Swift concert tickets throughout treatment for acute myeloid leukemia, not knowing if she'd be able to go.
Last week, her doctor gave her the official OK to go to the concert!

In my walk-in closet for 9 straight months, I transformed into Jeanette Lee The Black Widow of pool. I had to understand & grasp everything she felt. I was writing her memoir, the story of one of the greatest athletes of the era. I had to do her justice. https://t.co/OBQOkCZLlR
Meet Paris Olympia, making her first appearance in time for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. Her mom, Sarajevo Olympia Anderson, is named for – you guessed it – the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo. https://t.co/bRyRER6vwT
@gbosslet My property taxes went up nearly 20% this year. Cutting taxes isn’t the worst idea when you’re scraping to offset the cost while enduring rising cost of groceries and outrageous childcare expenses. I understand both sides of the argument, just sharing my personal experience.

Want to know just how bad Delta's meltdown is?
The airline has now canceled 5,370 flights and counting since Friday.
That's more flights than Delta canceled in all of 2018 ... and all of 2019, too (5,343).
Two years worth of cancellations in less than five days.
The great @DanaBenbow strikes again with the kind of "sports" story only she can find and tell: She was a HS athlete dying of cancer. Riley nurses saved her. Now she is one of them. https://t.co/O3TgATjlDT via @indystar
Headline: Colts legend Dwight Freeney helps @INDonorNetwork spread the word about organ donation.
Fine print: Freeney met Bella on Monday at @RileyChildrens. And he wants that sweet little girl to get her new heart before he goes into the Hall of Fame.
