The DMPS Foundation OneRun is about to start at Water Works Park. A record 2,500 people signed up to walk, run and cheer in support Des Moines Public Schools - THANK YOU! It’s a beautiful morning. Let’s do this!

Back on the school beat: a few snaps leading up to the start of classes today. This year’s first day of school is bittersweet as it is my last … after 20 years with DMPS - a term as a Board member and what will be 16+ years as communications director - I plan to retire in June.

3 for 3: had three works selected for the @IowaStateFair photography salon and found out today I received a ribbon for all three. Nothing more Iowan than receiving a State Fair ribbon.
