I’m here at the Da Vinci Center at 7 PM, getting things ready for tomorrow’s North End Backpack Drive! It kicks off at 11 AM sharp at 470 Charles St, Providence, RI 02904—first come, first served. After that, we’ll head to Chad Brown for our second backpack drive at 3 PM, 285 Chad Brown St, Providence, RI 02908. A huge thank you to the sponsors and contributors who made this possible. We pulled this together in less than a week, and it’s all thanks to a beautiful coalition of people who truly care about our students. THANK YOU! North End, I need your help spreading the word! Tell a friend to tell a friend!

I've seen some cruel things in my career in politics, but @LennyforRI's call on @SenatorRuggerio - a two time cancer survivor - to step aside is the cruelest and most tasteless. Lenny's statement, which lacks any sort of well wishes for Donny, is also full of lies.

You know @pvdschools has been through some tough times the last few years, but this pic sums it up, we have great kids, hardworking, dedicated teachers and a superintendent that truly cares….together we will move forward and prosper, I just know it… Go Purple Go PVD Schools

Today, we welcomed back @fdspaziano students into their brand-new school! We are so excited for students to have a new, state-of-the-art building! Special thanks to everyone who made this all possible! @RIDeptEd @GovDanMcKee @PVDMayor @pvdcitycouncil

Had an amazing & emotional time visiting Spaziano & D’Bate this am! When I first arrived 2 Prov, the physical state of some of the schools was sad! It’s great 2see that soon,all of our @pvdschools S’s will get what they deserve-21st century spaces 4 22nd century learning!💯❤️👊🏾👏

Former Ward 4 Councilman Nick Narducci, surrounded by family & friends, cuts the ribbon on the newly refurbished Narducci Learning Center. The PreK-8 school opens Wed. and will be used in the short term as much-needed swing space for students as the city rebuilds other schools

It was so inspiring to witness @pvdschools Fire Academy in action at their search and rescue exercise today! CTE programs like this not only benefit employers like the @PVDFireDept but also help change the lives of the students who participate in them. More of this, count me in.

We are inviting the PPSD family to join us at Mount Pleasant High School for community sessions to hear about the future of the Providence school: Tuesday, August 1, Community zoom Session, 5:30PM, bit.ly/3qap6lR Tuesday, August 8, Open house and tours, 5:30PM, MPHS

So proud of the 211 Providence Public School students that graduated with a Seal of Biliteracy in 10 different languages! You have a tremendous superpower and we're thrilled to celebrate you! @ppsdMLLs @BiliteracySeal @AvantAssessment @MultilingualRI

Becky Klassen is leading an amazing initiative for our district! Seal of biliteracy is such an accomplishment for our PPSD students 👏👏😢

“There are many paths and life is about the choices you make,” said Superintendent Montañez while speaking to students at Brown Day. “Have faith, believe in yourself, think wisely, get that support group around you, and always ask yourself ‘what if?’”

Thank you @PVDMayor for hosting our civics classes this coming Wednesday and providing a space for our HS civics students to learn about the many public service offices at City Hall and 444 Westminster St. Working together to improve Civics Education @pvdschools @RIDeptEd

Congrats to @EThreeAcademy teacher John Healy, the inaugural winner of the RI Civic Education Teacher of the Year, honored for his commitment to students & civic education! The award was presented by Sec. of State @GreggAmore1, Supt. Montañez, @AInfanteGreen, & Dr. Juda.

@Russmoore713 @CerebralKicks RI should adopt a Bean Pot type of format to promote the fact that we have four D1 programs.

My thing is, I just don’t like playing games with no upside unless it’s a must. It’s not about potentially losing to brown. Does a win over brown help the resume at all? No, so I wouldn’t schedule it. Nothing to gain there.

Just attended a very informative meeting in ward 5 hosted by Councilwoman @JoannRyanPVD5 re the future of Mt. Pleasant HS. @pvdschools gave these assurances: 1) it will not be closed 2) it will not be privatized 3) rebuild or renovate will be a matter of community input.

Congratulations to Classical Athletic Director Bobby Palazzo! @ClassicalHSPVD

Congratulations Blue Wave Wrestling!

@MrThomas_ @Sjones5479 And Pete Carrol has been able to make the playoffs despite having a lower payroll than he did at USC.

@Sjones5479 One is overpaid and played under expectations, the other is Geno Smith.

Geno Smith had a good season! Much better than Russell Wilson. 🤦🏿‍♂️

"I came in and the kids were going crazy. It had me more nervous to come in and talk to the kids with how excited they were than an actual football game," New England @Patriots cornerback Jalen Mills (@greengoblin) told @yannitragellis. abc6.com/pats-jalen-mil…
