Thank you @AlfredTatum for speaking to our @pgcps English teachers about pushing our students beyond basic & proficient. Your work in literacy will help us strive towards honoring the genius in our students. You filled our buckets & gave us inspiration as we head back this Aug.

Thank you @SLNazario for talking to our @pgcps English teachers about the trauma our immigrant children go through on their journey here. It is sobering but important for us to recognize the humanity & stories of our students. Thank you for your excellent journalism & dedication.

Thank you @sam_aye_ahm for speaking to our English teachers & reading from your latest book, Hollow Fires! You helped us dive into the questions of "Whose stories are told?" and "How are they told?" Thank you also for sharing your experiences as a former English teacher with us.

Thank you @djolder for speaking to our English teachers & reading from your latest book, Ballad & Dagger! It was such a great conversation about the art of writing. "Your voice is magic" and "creating the path you want to walk" will stay with me forever.

Thank you DMV native @JasonReynolds83 for speaking to our English teachers & reading from your latest book, Ain't Burned All the Bright! It was awesome getting to speak with you! Your "3 tenets of Humility, Intimacy and Gratitude" are concepts we will strive to practice everyday.
