@eramosp@eramosp dude, I'm the ๐ one in this scenario! You're brave, inspirational, + a contagious joy. TY also to @hitheretatis who had the vision to link us + the idea to nominate you, @Hey_JessV for catalyzing PB in RI, + @CFSchoolsRI for believing in the power of student voice!
Congratulations to Emmanuel Ramos of Central Falls, RI - this year's Darcy E. Richie Teacher Courage Award recipient!
In honor of Darcy Elaine Richie, we are happy to bestow this $10,000 award to Mr. Ramos for his demonstrated courage and excellence in equity-rooted education.
Empowered community + bold elected officials = #participatorybudgeting magic! Last year, CF residents voted on how to spend $50,000, and today we celebrated the installation of 11 new solar powerd compacting trash bins to keep CF clean!

Serving the people of Rhode Islandโs First District has been the honor of my lifetime.
The chance to lead the Rhode Island Foundation was unexpected, but it is an extraordinary opportunity to have an even more direct impact.
