@newskag The choir was fantastic! You must be so proud!

Happy #phled school board meeting day/Phillies opening day. My kid is part of the group singing “God Bless America” at the game today, but I’m on board duty, so I was “super cringe” and made him take a photo with me before dropping him off!

@lodgeatwoodloch — I have left two voice messages asking for a callback this week, one left during business hours, but no callback yet. Would love to speak with your reservations team. Thank you!

@newskag Gosh, it’s just one blow right after another for the students and families in the SDP. 😢

My 5th grader had his very first middle school interview yesterday and when the head of school asked him "what is a pressing problem today?", he responded "the underrepresentation of Black physicians". 💃🏾💃🏾 And no, we had not practiced at all!🎤
