Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary
I just learned that only 27% of students in 4th through 12th grade are proficient writers in the US. 🤯 I'm curious...how do you think we can change this statistic?
I feel like I've pivoted SO many times, yet, the #goal has always been the same. Watch out, #2023...here I come!

Learning shouldn't end when a child graduates.
Instead, #learning should be a lifelong journey adding joy and curiosity to our lives on a continual basis.
So where do you start?
With a good #book.

Books, whether written in 1 AD or 2019 AD, can be the greatest #gift that we give our children. Some open doors to places they've never been and introduce them to people they've never met. Others show glimpses into a past that has shaped their present.
