Music unites us all! Last night, I got to address and spend time with a packed house at the Walter Johnson High School auditorium as 200 MCPS elementary honors chorus singers sang a variety of songs and ended the program with “American the Beautiful” . #movedtotears #artsinschool #mcpsforward

I was glad to bring other non-profit to see this! Retired teacher Kim single-handedly recruited volunteers and offered 18 students 1:1 tutoring 2x a week & @MCPS provides logistic support! This is what partnership looks like, let’s help students together! #mcpsforward #intergenationallearning

Salsa, Bacata, Merengue, these students dance their heart out at the @Baila4Life Junior Competition last night! Shoutout to our @MCPS principals for being there on a Sunday night to support our students and families! #mcpsforward #engagingstudents

Our youth will lead the way! Thank you to MCPS Minority Scholars Program for empowering student voices! #MSP #mcpsforward

What a show last night! Poetry, dance, songs, musical instruments and fashion show, Wootton Black Student Union and their friends told a powerful story of struggle, resilience and triumph. #BlackHistoryMonth #mcpsforward @mocoboe.bsky.social

Happy to fit a school visit at Veirs Mill ES and a book reading at Wonders Learning in between board meetings and budget sessions! #inthecommunity #mcpsforward @mocoboe.bsky.social

Last night, I attended the @naacp_pcmd Whitman cluster meeting. School admins and parents dived deep into data and had actionable plans to help black students to achieve! This is a great model for addressing needs and to collaborate! #mcpsforward #goodthingsarehappening
