"The danger is simple: those aren’t things we control. But the teaching we provide every day is."

What better way to kick off Read Across America Week than with some Pre-K readers at Hornsby-Dunlap Elementary? Loved starting the celebration in Ms. Castro’s class, reading Gustavo. This heartwarming story about friendship, courage, and embracing who you are is a perfect reminder of how books help every child feel seen and valued. It was an exciting start to a week dedicated to the joy of reading. 📚 #txed #literacy #ReadAcrossAmerica

Bertha Sadler Means dedicated her life to public education and civil rights in Austin, Texas. As a teacher in Austin ISD, she taught elementary and secondary education, including in segregated schools. She championed school desegregation and equal access to resources. Outside the classroom, she ran voter registration drives and was a business and religious leader in the community. "Throughout her life, she's been handed a lot of lemons, and she's made a heck of a lot of lemonade," U.S. Representative Lloyd Doggett, a friend of Means's for several decades, said. "When Bertha saw something wrong, she didn't just sit idly by—she demanded change. Now her name inspires other young women." In 2014, the Bertha Sadler Means Young Women's Leadership Academy in Austin ISD was dedicated in her name. She lived to 100 years old. #BlackHistoryMonth #TxEd #AustinISD #AustinTeachers #AustinHistory #PublicEdHeroes #BHM

DVE had a great time last week during the Eduskate 2-week Skate-a-thon! Students learned new roller skating skills and built confidence along the way, then showed off their moves at our Family Skate Night. It was incredible to see the excitement, smiles, and families cheering.

Love 💗 getting to see pictures of our lunch bunch clubs! Student connections and positive activities! Thanks to @DVISD_OC teachers and staff that make these special events happen! @DelValleISD
