[Dr. Renae Bryant @DrRenaeBryant]

Excited to drop a new episode of The Your Story Matters Podcast on Sunday featuring two incredible educators and leaders I was able to learn from at the National Community Schools and Family Engagement Conference: Dustin J. Krein, Ed.D., Sustainability Director, University-Assisted Community Schools and Whitney Jean-Pierre, Community Programs Coordinator, Institute for School-Community Partnerships, Integrated Services, and Child Mental Health and Educational Policy at University of South Florida on Sunday! They shared their stories and expertise on university-assisted community schools. Grab a pen and paper, you will want to take notes.

[No Kid Hungry @nokidhungry]

When school lets out for the summer, millions of kids lose access to the school meals they count on each day. For families already stretched thin, summer can quickly become the hardest and hungriest season of the year. In North Carolina, where 1 in 5 children experiences hunger, that gap is real and urgent.

That’s why SUN Bucks matters. https://t.co/P3fpjfkdI5
