@SenatorRicketts@POTUS It should also empower TEACHERS who dedicate their lives to educating Nebraska's students. Come chat with us at Norris! I would love to tell you about my time teaching in Nebraska schools.
@SenatorRicketts@POTUS Nebraskan students will suffer because of this. Sadly, the students who need ED the most will suffer the consequences. You need to visit classrooms across Nebraska to understand what is happening with students. I would be happy to host you at Norris in OPS.
Somewhere your kindergarten teacher still remembers and cares about you. You may not recall every moment clearly, but she dedicated a whole year of her life to your growth and well-being. Trust me when I tell you she’s still praying for your success. Send her a note today.

This week I taught a lesson about women in politics. We discussed the importance of female representation in government and covered the history of women in politics. At the end of the lesson, students created an infographic for a politician of their choice.
