At our 1st meeting with 8th-grade student leaders, 2 girls shared that they joined to help their brothers, who’d been taught not to have feelings. Since social-emotional learning is central to our work, we ask: How are you helping the boys in your life recognize and express a full range of emotions?

I am completing week 7 of my 18 week marathon training schedule. Saturday is 12 miles, let's hope that the temperature break before then.
I would love to get to $600 raised for @takebackthehalls.bsky.social before my Saturday run. I am only $41 dollars away.

Folks ask me how I can train for a marathon in the heat. Here's last week's rundown.
Tues: 3 miles temp 82-86
Fri: 4 miles blazing hot: high 91.
Sat: 6:30 am 5 miles, cooler temps in the 70s high 84.
Help me make all those hot and sweaty miles worthwhile?
