March Madness in 5th consisted of Imagine Math and Imagine Literacy Brackets, @kobebryant poems, and crazy creature basketball trading cards! @ClaraLoveES @kdunlevy02 @jenhall @Miss_Kotfer @NorthwestISD @airmac72 @MarchMadnessMBB @Lakers

Our Ss created their own version of @kobebryant’s Dear Basketball poem. @ClaraLoveES @airmac72 @kdunlevy02 @jenhall @Miss_Kotfer @Lakers @NBA @NorthwestISD

A week ago, I was gearing up for an incredible opportunity to use my Texas teacher voice. The conversations at the Capitol were productive, and I left feeling inspired to keep advocating for educators who have felt the strain of budget deficits like we have in our district!

NISD stands firmly opposed to efforts to redirect public funds to private schools with little to no accountability. Lawmakers have the opportunity to support hardworking teachers and public schools by increasing outdated funding levels. They should use it. youtu.be/vn7oABs2tFM
