đź’• Anniversary: Wishing my husband Mike a very happy 4th anniversary! We had a romantic pandemic elopement on 2/26/21.
🍿 A Great Movie: Mike and I watched A Real Pain on Hulu. It's a story of two cousins that go on a Holocaust memorial trip to honor their great grandmother. This movie strikes a balance between being poignant and laugh out loud funny.
🚌 A Great Cause: A lot of public schools are facing scary realities about funding getting pulled. I'm directing my dollars to ensure public schools can still provide the resources they need. Many districts have foundations that run in partnership with the district. In my local district in Charlotte, NC this is The CMS Foundation. If you're looking to do some good, find those local nonprofits that work directly with your district.
Have a great week!
