My students loved their "Buddy Read" time in the class of melissa iamarone. They came armed with their own books, but also had an opportunity to have these little ones read to them too. Mary E. Fogarty Elementary

Thank you Mark Anthony Gooden for an inspiring day of professional development, working with us to become Equity-Focused School Leaders. Learning a lot early in the process and digging into necessary, uncomfortable conversations. Providence Public Schools PPSD Elementary Zone

Thank you to Sgt. Courville and the Providence Police Mounted Command for our field trip. To visit with police horses in person and discuss American Reading Animal Adaptations was quite the learning experience. Andrea Luisi Jenna Andrade Courtney Monterecy Dylan Tyrrell #FogartyPride

"Out of the 50 elementary, middle, and high schools across Rhode Island that earned a rating of four or five stars, 45 of them didn’t have enough MLL students to qualify for that category – which means they’re essentially being rewarded for their lack of diversity."

Last day of school… Some of the kids asked Andrea Luisi to climb up the climbing structure. After she did, they asked me to do it. It led to this. Teaching is hard. That makes moments like this more special and real. #FogartyPride Mary E. Fogarty Elementary Courtney Monterecy Dylan Tyrrell
