Thank you to Kimberly Hinkle and Shawnee Mission Education Foundation for allowing me to come shadow you today! It was great reconnecting with the professionals that have helped me along my educational journey, as well as networking with others as I prepare for my next chapter after graduation in May!

Some of our favorites from the Fall Breakfast!

A great way to kick off a Friday by seeing our friends in Project Search at AdventHealth Kansas City get CPR certified! Shawnee Mission Education Foundation provided an E2 grant so they could get certified in CPR and First Aid. They did awesome, and it was so fun to cheer them on.

Look at those amazing culturally responsive books at @rosehill512, which were purchased through an E2 Grant! These books allow students to share their cultural uniqueness & share their personal stories while building crucial literacy skills!

Last year Mrs. Howes received an E2 Grant for “Reframe Your Brain” stations at @mcauliffe512. The stations give kids a place to reset their brains & go to class ready to learn. E2 Grants empower educators to bring innovative ideas to life. Give now: smef.org/donate
