Private Equity has fully encroached on Youth Sports.
They are preying on the fears of parents, convincing them that their kids are behind their peers, and forcing the kids to specialize WAY too early.
They manipulate parents into paying outrageous fees for travel teams, showcase tournaments, and bogus recruiting services.
Private Equity DOES NOT care about your kids.
They don't care about the development of young athletes.
They don't even care about sports at all.
They ONLY care about profit.
They worship the almighty dollar.
They will promise you the world while they shake you down for every penny.
Resist the grift. Push back on the lies.

Wild rice—mnomen—is Sacred. The Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi protects this Ancestral food with care for water, land, and culture.

I know for some teachers this is your red line… but since we are #BackToSchool #firstdayofschool and all, just a friendly reminder to you and yours… just give or lend the kid pencil if they need it.
Thanks for coming to my #TedTalk

Amber built a nice tailgate bench out of cedar. This project is special because the tailgate came off a family member's old truck. Good job, Amber!

Happy birthday, Ken Burns! To celebrate Ken’s legacy (and what better way than through education!), check out the Ken Burns in the Classroom on PBS LearningMedia. This collection is a treasure trove of teaching resources built around his acclaimed films. bit.ly/4eeZ3Oa

Loads of fun for history and map nerds alike! This fantastic online tool allows you to see how borders changed over time. Endless fun zooming in and out and see history play itself out. Worth looking at when you read history too! Source: buff.ly/ZiMoASK

🌍 Happy Earth Day from Greensburg, KS — the town that rebuilt green! 💚
After an EF5 tornado nearly wiped us off the map in 2007, we chose not just to rebuild—but to lead. Today, we're one of the greenest communities in America.
