One of the things I miss the most about LA is my involvement in the community. Resigning as Chair of the @brfoodbank Board was tough, and this present in the mail from them makes me miss them more. They are some of the best people I know.

These teachers were rockstars by being so engaged and enthusiastic about doing better for kids.
We continued our Summer of Support last week at the Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center in Abingdon. Thanks to so many teachers for spending time with us to prepare for the upcoming transition to the new English and Math Standards in the new school year.
