Today I got to be with students for a little while and tomorrow morning I'll be on stage, keynoting the Governor's Conference for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect. I'm thankful for the opportunities I get to make a difference! #GovConfKS2024

A little flavor of ⁦@TabathaRosproy⁩ with our Seedlings program. Seedlings visits residents at The Warm Friend in downtown Holland monthly for some great connections and fun activities. Today we made art collages using elements of nature found throughout downtown.

On successful family engagement:

"All the pizza, gift cards, and math manipulatives you can fit in a bag mean nothing...it's about trust, and seeing families without judgement." - @DrSConstantino

Hearing the story of the incredible Joseph Washington, and what he overcame when school + family worked together. “It was that night, when a teacher, a parent, and a child, committed to participating in my rescue.” 🤝🏼✊🏻👏🏻

When we stop being defensive we create emotional intimacy and evolve into better versions of ourselves.
