Happy Valentines Day.
Love can be many things and come in many forms. I hope you get to celebrate love in exactly the way you want today (and everyday).
My love language right now is reading until I fall asleep for a nap 😴 💝

I am excited to continuing volunteering for such a great organization! The Bronze Volunteer Service Award is given to Ambassadors who have completed 100-249 hours of volunteer time throughout the year. I cannot wait to dive deeper into more initiatives.

I had a wonderful time this morning with @girlscouts Overseas as a guest. We did a timely #storybookSTEM with Wangari’s Trees of Peace, and made our own forest from household materials. Thank you for having me as your final STEM superhero for the 24-25 season!

Okay, I'll say it: Tonight has been an absolute DRUBBING for Texas book banners. Texas voters stood up and said clearly that they're sick of trustees demonizing teachers. They rejected the absurd policing of libraries & books that has plagued our state for years.
And here’s how my tracker looks right now. That’s a lot of green!
