I’m an elementary principal who enjoys writing, South Korean movies, & books, especially George R.R. Martin. I also love to have fun in other countries!
Dolly Parton spent decades quietly funding band uniforms and instruments at Black high schools across the South - never once putting her name on it. No headlines, no fanfare — just help, given because it was needed.
Rhinestones on the outside, gold on the inside. 💛
It’s hard to imagine many people having a bigger impact than Dolly Parton. Born in a one-room cabin, she earned 11 Grammys and an Emmy, built a business empire, helped millions of kids learn to read, and — as if that wasn’t enough — helped accelerate the research that led to the Moderna COVID vaccine. What a life. Michelle and I are thinking of Dolly’s family and her many, many fans.
Ms Dolly did THAT!! From movies, song writing, amusement park, hotels, charity, SINCERITY, unabashed foxiness, humor…. EVERYTHING. The neighbor I never saw but adored. Sent ❤️ every time I passed her house. Ms Dolly is on my inspo wall. Rest well dear lady; Did GREATNESS HER WAY
Dolly Parton on funding education and childhood literacy programs:
My daddy was the smartest man I have ever known, but I knew his inability to read probably kept him from seeing all of his dreams come true. Inspiring kids to love to read became my mission.
She was always proud that her little program grew into what it is today. She was proudest of what it meant to her Dad. In her own words: "My Daddy told me the Imagination Library was probably the most important thing I had ever done." (cont)
Our team, our local program partners, and every operational partner who helps make this program possible each month are heartbroken at the loss of our founder, Dolly Parton. (cont.)
