When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound, in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be. I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of the wild things

Our state employees are dedicated to improving the lives of Kentuckians. I was proud to support them and their work in my budget with a pay raise for the first time in 20 years. Let's show our state workers our appreciation – thank you for all you do! #EmployeeAppreciationDay

Kentucky has zero state-wide COVID restrictions and we haven’t for six months. The only thing SJR 150 does is take food off the table of more than half-a-million hungry or food insecure Kentuckians, mainly children and seniors. 1/2 youtu.be/R6H4kgEMbBg

I am forever grateful for Governor Andy Beshear and his leadership during these difficult years. Kind, compassionate, and level-headed. He is one of the good ones. KEA

Thank you, Governor Andy Beshear .

I use to be on the team that's like, "Let kids bring phones into the classroom! We'll use them for learning!" The problem, and the reason I've changed my stance, is simply that the attention economy makes this nearly impossible. It's a losing battle for kids & their brain. 1/

Some the sweetest graduates just put their caps and gowns on for their group picture in my room. I love just sitting and listening to their comments and laughter. Love this class.

“We’d be happy to help.” Really? No answer any time I have called. #stuck British Airways

5 people with cancelled flights on June 30. Return home delayed by 24 hours. Compensation request on July 7. Still have not been contacted by British Airways .

Nothing starts a day off better than when a former student sends a message of thanks! I always love hearing from them! #DayMade

Still waiting for our compensation British Airways . We flew home on July 1, after a 24 hour delay. I have heard nothing about my claim.

🚨New #Video Alert🚨: Vote "No" on #Kentucky #Constitutional #Amendment #1. It is #badnews for #Kentuckians.

Call British Airways and FINALLY speak to a person. Was told to call a US #. Did that. Guess what? That # no longer takes calls. It has been 101 days since our cancelled flight. And 95 since I filed the claim.

Students in dual credit SKYCTC English 101 take an active role in literature discussions.

Here’s to 2023 - hoping this is the year where teachers are respected with reasonable job expectations, public support, and adequate pay.

Day made! A reluctant reader from last semester returned a book he finished OVER THE BREAK. And another last semester student made the cut to apply to the Marine Academy! They both came to visit today!

The amount of standardized testing we force on students is unethical and immoral. No wonder students are disengaged.
