3104 Georgians have died and I and my family are amongst the 106k who have tested positive for COVID-19. Meanwhile, I have been sued by @GovKemp for a mask mandate. A better use of tax payer money would be to expand testing and contact tracing. #ATLStrong

“The healing and unifying power of the arts have been evident as the COVID-19 pandemic swept the country. As states and schools work through multiple challenges in the years ahead, arts education must remain central to a well-rounded education.” #apsarts nafme.org/wp-content/files/2… – at Georgia, USA

The Arts, PE, recess and play aren’t just important for students to grow emotionally, socially, & academically, but they may be the main reason that some students enjoy coming to school.

If there’s one thing I’m convinced of after being on the frontlines of supporting our community during this pandemic it is that connectivity/WiFi should be a PUBLIC UTILITY not a luxury. It is as important as electricity or water. Never shut off and always accessible to ALL! – at Atlanta, GA

The Excellence in Teaching Winner is @APSGradyKnights Orchestra Director Ms. Krissi Davis! Thank you for your dedication and outstanding leadership in the classroom! Cheers to you! #APyeS – at Atlanta, GA
It's fun to see the babies and pets during our meetings! Also, I like to see proof that @sara_womack actually ever goes home, because she's our James Brown hardest working woman in show business. LOL.
