Don’t listen to the “dabblers” -the critics who sit on the side of the pool! Instead, keep at it, start cannon balling off the high dive until they are soaked and want to join you! @TaraMartinEDU #HiveSummit – at Colorado, USA

Renaissance Teacher Leaders recently returned from St. Louis, where they explored the city’s vibrant arts scene, history, architecture, and iconic landmarks as part of their grant experience. 🎭🎨🏛️ Throughout the week, educators attended live performances, visited historic sites, and experienced inspiring artistic spaces that highlighted the power of creativity and storytelling. These shared experiences sparked new ideas, strengthened connections among participants, and provided fresh inspiration to bring back to classrooms across Kentucky. We look forward to seeing how these experiences continue to influence teaching, learning, and the arts in their schools and communities. @KEDCGrants @KEDC1

The Constitution is about VOICE! This week, 2nd graders listened to Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" and Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land" and drew their feelings. Thank you @KingWendy_m for encouraging @KedcARTS members to go beyond the SS class! #WeTheKEDC
