Great closure on Year 3 with our Renaissance Grant group. Meaningful reflecting 🪞 on the past Grant year and revving up for Year 4. Meeting with KET and Carla Glover = icing on the cake. KEDC RENAISSANCE Grant

Today's art therapy session(s) at KEDC's Elevation Summit gave me two great ideas to take into Elementary Art - budget friendly, standards friendly, and a fun community builder. #kedcgrants KEDC RENAISSANCE Grant

Randy Lanham from the Bluegrass Academy in Davies, County, KY, provided an inspiring session at Elevation Summit on bringing music to the masses. He's passionate about getting novices strumming using creative techniques. No experience? No problem! #kedcgrants KEDC RENAISSANCE Grant

Debra Faulk was a delight at Elevation Summit in her portrayal of Kentucky native Nancy Green. Nancy became the character of Aunt Jemima. Despite the racial negativity and stereotyping, Nancy used her earnings as Aunt Jemima to build a church. Inspirational! #KEDCgrants KEDC

Master storyteller Bil Lepp, today's keynote speaker, reminded me of the timeless hook of a good story in any setting, but ESPECIALLY in the classroom. KEDC #KEDCgrants RENAISSANCE Grant
