Congratulations to @RitchMs 8th grader Sumaya Bell, our 2024 District Spelling Bee Champion! If her name sounds familiar, it's because she was also the 2023 Champion! Bell and runner-up, 5th grader Hannah Nelson from @AbneyElementary will advance to the regional competition.

How about these dedicated teachers spending their day learning about the science of reading on a Saturday?

@TiffanyFrach @PCSDLiteracy @BookwormsRW @openupresources @pauldingboe It was incredible to have you there with us!!

Thankful for these @PCSDLiteracy leaders and their commitment to excellence and equitable literacy outcomes for all PCSD students! Dr. Sharon Walpole was kind enough to endure several selfies with the team! @BookwormsRW @openupresources l#HIVE2023

@ManuelScott Thank you so much for delivering such an inspiring keynote! There were so many messages within your message that had me in tears for the full hour. Thanks for that hug you gave me though those tears. Your heart and truth and testimony impacted me in so many ways. Core memory🧂

Good morning! I'm up early this morning, getting myself "salty" to deliver the closing keynote at the HIVE Conference, whose theme is "Committed to Equity and Excellence." I'm looking forward to meeting them. Be salty, my friend, be salty! #thepowerofone2023 #besalty #mannyscott
