Last year Mrs. Howes received an E2 Grant for “Reframe Your Brain” stations at @mcauliffe512. The stations give kids a place to reset their brains & go to class ready to learn. E2 Grants empower educators to bring innovative ideas to life. Give now: smef.org/donate

Gifts to @thesmef help our most vulnerable families in times of crisis. Your support develops young leaders & allows us to support @thesmsd educators who make a difference. Make your #GivingTuesdsay gift today: smef.org/donate

Look at those amazing culturally responsive books at @rosehill512, which were purchased through an E2 Grant! These books allow students to share their cultural uniqueness & share their personal stories while building crucial literacy skills!

A great way to kick off a Friday by seeing our friends in Project Search at @AdventHealthKC get CPR certified! @theSMEF provided an E2 grant so they could get certified in CPR and First Aid. They did awesome, and it was so fun to cheer them on.

Some of our favorites from the Fall Breakfast!
