Question—how many of you consider yourselves mov Question—how many of you consider yourselves movement elders, whether as activists, artists, educators, or some blend?

Wish me luck everyone, next week I will be with th Wish me luck everyone, next week I will be with the good journalists, coaches, and educators of ThreeSixty Journalism at the University of St. Thomas (my alma mater for my M.A.T.!) helping rising seniors develop, write, and refine their college essays! It's a really cool program, and the the essays that come out of it are meaningful, moving, vivid, focused, and authentic. We work with the Common App prompts and students may bring prompts they already know about from other schools to which they will apply. Check it out for the high school students you know for next summer! And if you're interested in volunteering for a few hours to help these ambitious students hone their essays, let me know!

New book series for young readers! Kids need hope, New book series for young readers! Kids need hope, and they need help finding healing together after and while there's sadness in the room, school, life. My friend and former classroom teacher Tom Rademacher, who is passionate about education and support kids, who are brilliant and deserve everything good, has three new books that were just released on August 1! "Join Bucket's challenge in this warm, funny, and empowering story about seeing your way through tough times and finding bits of joy along the way.

Bucket and Friends Save (Part of) the World with a Wall by author and educator Tom Rademacher gets at the heart of what's on kids' minds with kindness, humor, and insight.

Each book in the Bucket and Friends series shows how activism big or small can enable young people to thrive and affect positive change for themselves and others.

An included discussion guide offers further suggestions for ways kids can seek and provide help navigating their world."
