    Optimism is a moral choice. We can work, and will, the hope we want to create into existence.

    is one of the most compelling discussions of the challenges faced by inner city youth I have seen.

    It is absolutely a beautiful thing when children from the inner city have a chance to get out on the river, feel that peace, be part of a team, and row. So glad we are creating opportunity! Please check out the documentary- I promise you it will inspire you.

    Where crew started in Chicago, and where we are bringing it back. Talent is always evenly distributed, opportunity is not. We must take, and create, opportunity wherever there is talent. That’s everywhere.

    Want to create hope and show what’s possible on a block that has seen too much violence? Make it a celebration and give out school supplies! ⁦⁩

    Our beloved custodian sang at all the assemblies, and knew the kids names. Mr. Finas.

    But God………Thank you Secretary Duncan, I needed this beautiful story of human kindness…we’ve had our share of hate and bigotry for a century.

    Want to have a great school, a school that sparkles and makes children feel great about coming to each day? Treat your custodians like the culture builders and invaluable teammates that they are.

    Thanks for your leadership , and for your commitment to keeping your students, staff and families healthy and safe. I hope the other 15,000 school districts in America follow your lead.

    Today approved a requirement for all students 12+ years to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine is safe, effective, & the best way to keep our students protected against the virus. We will work to ensure families have reliable medical information in the coming weeks
