When CUSD schools work together 🤝 @KnoxGifted 5th/6th graders learned about 100 years of history from different decades with @WillisFirebirds STEAM Academy students. Following the classroom interactions, students took part in a “Decades Dance” in the gym. #WeAreChandlerUnified

We lift our gazes not To what stands between us,
But what stands before us. We close the divide, Because we know to put Our future first, we must first Put our differences aside.

“A fish out of water.” I had students share a reflection after the latest Unit Test. This one will sit with me for too long.

When Amanda Gorman, a 22-year-old poet from Los Angeles, took to the stage, it was immediately clear why President Biden had chosen her as his inaugural poet. Watch her reading of "The Hill We Climb": trib.al/00BLGpz

Be present - that means no overthinking, future projecting or ruminating. Being present in hard times is no more than agreeing that what is happening is happening. Accepting that we're in it whether we like it or not saying "Yes this is so and this is hard but I'm present"

More than anything else, teachers want their students to be successful. And right now, many students are struggling, despite the best efforts of teachers. I know this thing is hard on students...but it is also taking an emotional toll on teachers who are desperate to help them.

Super proud of you @myrafrancisco32 ! You have worked hard for your accomplishments. I am very excited for you.
Myra Francisco, who will be graduating from @ASUTheCollege this fall with a BA in political science and minor in statistics, knows that policy is important — and she wants to play a role in shaping it.

Right there too @WeAreTeachers Functioning all day every day at such a heightened level of everything. No order to the chaos and then trying to convey strength and calm. Thankful for all the support but it's tough. #Teachertired
Teachers across social media are sharing just how hard this really is. #teachertwitter bit.ly/3niI3fk

Have you made your voting plan yet? Making a voting plan is exactly what it sounds like: figuring out where & how you're going to vote ahead of time! This year it’s more important than ever to understand all of your options, make a plan, and follow through! #NVEW2020 #VoteReady
