When this player's hijab started falling off to reveal her hair, her opponents gathered around to provide cover while she fixed it.
This is our mood today.
When one of us needs us: We stop. We huddle up. We protect each other.
I love the soccer. I love women.

Great effort to increase parent awareness of / engagement in @MetroSchools.
On September 5th, Nashville P.R.O.P.E.L hosted an at large mixer and mayoral candidate forum on education. Our goal was to create a space where authentic parents could address issues surrounding the education crisis, ask real questions, and demand change!

Really interesting to see the demographic differences between these 3 public @MetroSchools options:
-Magnet low income is only 9%, ELL is only 2%, SWD is only 3% !
-Charter low income, minority, ELL numbers are all higher than zoned. SWD is 2 ppts lower.

2/3rds of voters place high priority on providing public school options that include access to public #charterschools, magnets, and career academies. Still, there were differences in prioritization by race/ethnicity w/ Black/White gap at 25 % points. #NationalCharterSchoolsWeek

It's nice to wake up to a day where the breaking news is that scientists have captured the first image of a black hole. Let us pause to rejoice in the creativity, determination, hard work, and collaborations of those who extend the frontiers of human knowledge. Yay science!

Priscilla Chan discussed new approaches & models in education that stem from #collaboration. She mentioned @valorcollegiate, who value social & emotional development as much as academics: "think that's too touchy-feely? They rank in top 5% schools in Tennessee" #ASUGSV2019
