Higher Expectations for Racine County

Two of our incredible team members are heading to Madison next week to present at the Wisconsin Education Association Council (WEAC) Coalition for Community Schools Conference!

Our Community Engagement Manager, Leanna, and Parent Grade Lead, Ketti, will be sharing our Parent Grade Lead model. If you're attending the conference next week, go show them some love! 🫶🏽

Happy Graduation to the Racine Unified Schools ! 🎓

Congratulations to each and every graduate crossing the stage this weekend. We're so proud of you, and can't wait to see what you accomplish next!

Last week we gathered to celebrate the end of an incredible school year with our Parent Grade Leads! 🎉A huge THANK YOU to Angela, Ketti, Rebecca, and Falanda for your dedication as PGLs. We are so proud of you! 👏

Timehop just took us back a great evening — our 10 Year Anniversary celebration at The Johnson Foundation at Wingspread two years ago today! 🎉

A room full of the people who make this work possible, a look back at a decade of progress, and a vision for future. Our official birthday was May 15th, so consider this our (slightly belated) birthday post! 🎂

Another collaborative day is in the books for The Wisconsin Partnership 📕💫 we spent the day with our statewide coalition partners Achieve Brown County, Building Our Future, and Milwaukee Succeeds to continue shaping our statewide policy priorities. We’re excited to continue this hard work to put more young people on a path to economic mobility here in ! A special thank you to Jen Saenz, Director of State Policy at StriveTogether for guiding us with her expertise and resources this week.
