Big news! For every graduation photo tagged the #TheHillWeClimbed @penguinrandom is donating $1 to @girlsopportunityalliance to support girls’ education globally! Let’s uplift our students & celebrate #thehillweclimbed together 💛
This school year has had so many ups and downs. But the students always help me remember my why I'm here, with small things like asking me about my day or unexpected things like bringing me flowers. @MiddleNavarre

On this #TransDayOfVisibility and every day, we support all trans and nonbinary students and colleagues—out or not—for who they know themselves to be. We continue to work toward a world where this visibility is not legislated, but celebrated.

ALT A designed quote from Laverne Cox that reads, "We are not what other people say we are. We are who we know ourselves to be and we are what we love."

People love to trash YA fiction without realizing the impact it's having on future leaders who will greatly impact society; who are ALREADY impacting society.
I proudly write for them because I've given up on most of you.

Today I told my 5th graders about how insecure I was as a 5th grader, and how when I was bullied as a child, I didn’t say anything or speak up because I saw myself as a “nice person.” One girl said, “You can still be a nice person and stick up for yourself.”
Amen 👏🏾 – at Chicago, IL

Your kids' teachers are likely exhausted but also still knee-deep in work and emails this weekend. Send a quick note of gratitude to cleanse their inboxes.

This Monday is #IndigenousPeoplesDay, a holiday still observed as Columbus Day in many states. On this day—and year-round—we hope you’ll commit to teaching the truth about Indigenous history and experiences of Indigenous peoples. These resources can help.
