Brought my 7 yo to school today. As he waited for me, he hung out with Mr. Jason Essex, WHS senior. They played 500 games of Uno and watched each other’s football highlight reels. Now THIS is what leadership looks like! #rolemodel @Tonka_Football @Jason_Essex11 @NKCSchools

This table full of brilliance is collaborating on their first big research project: exploring the unique pressures and expectations faced by the female children of first generation immigrants! The conversation was fascinating! #identity #APSeminar #ThisIsTonka

@ellemoxley Remember the junior that you profiled at Winnetonka for your story on BIPOC students accessing AP courses? Wanted you to know that she earned a 4 on her AP Research exam this year!! In other words, she NAILED IT!) She’s on full scholarship to UMKC!!

[Tonka Honors Diploma & SAGE @TonkaSAGE]

Yes!!! Please!

[Tonka Honors Diploma & SAGE @TonkaSAGE]

Hear that? No?? That’s because my AP Seminar class is SILENTLY and diligently working in their essays on a Friday afternoon on the eve of Snowmegeddon!! I’m SO proud of their focus and concentration! #APSeminar #APCapstone #thisistonka

@MrHofWinns @camphalfblood Thanks for the suggestion! I’m excited to read them both, once I can wrench them from my daughter. She doesn’t share books well🤣

[Tonka Honors Diploma & SAGE @TonkaSAGE]

@MrHofWinns Hi! I’m a friend of Dr Copeland. Also, Tonka Nation as Gifted Resource for WHS. Mom of a precocious 4th grader needing BOOK suggestions! I swear she’s read everything. Dr C says that you are the man when it comes to upper elementary reading material. Can you help me??

Forgot to tweet this: AP Research Showcase Day! Kids looking sharp and sharing their brilliance. So many alums and staff came to support their learning! #APResearch
