If you haven’t seen our documentary, or if you want to bring any friends or family to see it too, we love to see you tomorrow in Burnsville, for an in-person screening.
This event is tomorrow! RSVP here —> popmn.org/film. We’re in Burnsville. Should be a great event.

So excited for this event! Please share and come to @popchurch to watch @LoveThemFirst and then hear from the directors and educators afterwards.
We love that #LoveThemFirst and @friestleben are gracing school walls as mural inspiration. As Principal Mauri reminds us to lead with love.

#LoveThemFirst received the @CynopsisMedia “Best Documentary Special” award for excellence in national TV programming. Thx to @kare11 @TEGNA @NeenVoge our EP, and especially principal @friestleben, who continues this heroic work, in the trenches, far from the spotlight.

Principal Mauri from #LoveThemFirst: “If some of you really knew what these kids were managing, you’d stop feeling sorry for yourselves.”
