It’s Recruitment Season!! 🥰🥰🥰

In a school year, students go through 2 pair of sneakers, our goal for all 30 students enrolling in The Learning Lounge this year was to provide 2 pair of sneakers. Our private donors have made it happen! Sneakers for Students is an annual project now lnkd.in/gA6Gbkac

Today before I closed the door to MY school, I had to take a moment and reflect on this mural in the hallway!! “I am a dreamer.” I hope this painting serves as a constant reminder for my students to DREAM BIG!! #founder #schoolchoice #microschool #Arkansas

This weekend I opened a private microschool in my community, and yesterday I took pictures in that school!! Be the change!! 😍😍😍 #founder #education #microschool

We hosted our founding families dinner at our microschool on Friday, and we had a blast! Students received stuffies, shirts, and SNEAKERS! Thanks to amazing families, friends and donors!!! #microschool #SchoolChoice #educationalfreedom #education

On July 20th, we opened the doors to the first ever microschool in the Pine Bluff community. This school will serve as a community hub for learning, innovation, and education!! We are super excited to bring an educational option to the community I call home! #microschool

I’m a school leader and a school teacher at the same time!! What an amazing day for our smallest learners!! #microschool #choice #community

Planning our watch party!! Our students are super excited to watch the power of education and innovation!! 😍😍

When we give families freedom to choose their own education option, we release the chains of bondage!! #chainbreaker #educator #innovator #microschool

We survived the first day!! If this is any indication of how the year will be!!! I’m ready for the ride!!! I opened a microschool!!! #microschool #owner #schoolchoice #education

I survived Day 2!!! #microschoolowner #founder #teachertired

I forgot to give you guys a midweek update!! The first picture is a microschool owner before school and the last picture is a microschool owner afterschool!!! #microschool #founder

Our microschool opened in July with a goal of 15 students and it is Day 4, and we have 30 students and a waiting list!! #options #schoolchoice #educationfreedom #education

Research shows that the city I call home is the fastest shrinking city in the country right now, however I’ve built a growing microschool that has attracted families from neighboring cities!! We now have a waiting list! Sounds like a win!! ❤️❤️❤️

What we expose our students too matters!! Our students had a blast!! #founder #microschool

Educational choices matter and we created a space with a demand that has exceeded our expectations!! Super appreciative for @VELAEdFund for being a part of this amazing launch for students and families in southeast Arkansas. #edchoice #educationfreedom #Arkansas
