📚✨ A Little Superhero Moment During State Testing ✨📚

While supporting at a school during state testing, we overheard a student quietly tell his teacher, “My backpack broke.” 💔
And just like that… our superhero senses kicked in. 🦸🏽‍♀️🦸🏽‍♂️

Within moments, we connected with our squad, and we made it happen! A brand new backpack filled with supplies for this incredible student. 🎒✏️📓

Because at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter that the school year is almost over… what matters is showing up when it counts.
The student will also receive additional resources to support language learning and a smooth transition to middle school.

Because our commitment goes beyond today… it’s about setting students up for success tomorrow. 🌱
