Teen brain 'lightbulbs' 💡popping all over at JA Finance Park @MCPS today! Spoke w/ middle schoolers about budgeting for housing, groceries, insurance, higher ed, etc and heard hysterical insights, like on $$$ vacations, "My kids, they can just go in the back yard!" #adulting

Happy #VeteransDay2024 to my dad, our extended family members who serve/d in the #USmilitary, @heidi_hvega and other #Veterans in #schoolPR! Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸❤️

[NSPRA @NSPRA]

Today, NSPRA honors Veterans Day by saluting those who have served our country.

NSPRA President @heidi_hvega, veteran of the U.S. Air Force, talks about how her time in the military helped shape her #schoolPR career path and shares a Veterans Day message with members.

[NSPRA @NSPRA]

Election Day is a reminder that every voice counts—a core belief in #schoolPR.

As communicators, we know the impact of keeping communities informed and engaged, and voting is one more way to ensure our voices and values are heard. Take a moment today to cast your vote!
