I am excited to continuing volunteering for such a great organization! The Bronze Volunteer Service Award is given to Ambassadors who have completed 100-249 hours of volunteer time throughout the year. I cannot wait to dive deeper into more initiatives.

"Kids are dying from gun violence, not books. Families are being evicted. Schools lack counselors. Teachers are leaving the profession in droves. No child has ever died from a book, but many like me have been saved by one." - Rep. Christina Morales speaking against SB 13, the Book Ban Bill. #txlege

I had a wonderful time this morning with @girlscouts Overseas as a guest. We did a timely #storybookSTEM with Wangari’s Trees of Peace, and made our own forest from household materials. Thank you for having me as your final STEM superhero for the 24-25 season!

And here’s how my tracker looks right now. That’s a lot of green!

Tracker of school board election results showing 13 in green (good), 2 in white (mixed), and 5 in red (bad).
