We shared voting awareness stickers with students, parents, and staff across our charter school campuses as a reminder that every vote counts. It’s inspiring to see our community come together for such an important cause. If you haven’t made it to the polls yet, there’s still time—polls close at 7 PM. Let’s do this, Fort Worth! ?? #ElectionDay #OurCommunityVotes #FortWorthFamilies

Our F3 team had an incredible time out in Fort Worth, connecting with charter school families and encouraging them to make their voices heard! We canvassed across four areas, talking to registered voters about the importance of early voting. With early voting ending soon, let's keep this momentum strong—your last day to vote early is Friday, November 1. Let's show up together!

We are thrilled to announce the completion of our PAL 1.0 Fellowship! ?? Recently, we celebrated the incredible journey of these passionate leaders who are committed to making a difference in our community. Their dedication and hard work over the past months have been inspiring, and we couldn't be more proud of their growth. ?? ?? Here’s a snapshot of our amazing cohort! But the work doesn’t stop here. These fellows will lead our upcoming Listening Circle, and we invite YOU to join us. Let’s continue the conversation and keep building together. There's still time to join us this Saturday, Oct 26th.

Today, one of our PAL parents, Clarissa, and our Director of Organizing, Johamna, participated in a panel about advocacy and parent voice at Fort Worth Education Partnership’s Fall Education Convening. We also want to thank Trenace and Melony from Parent Shield for the incredible work they do and for sharing on the panel with us. Hearing everyone’s passion reminded us why families lead the charge for change in Fort Worth. #ParentVoicesMatter #FamiliesFirst #AdvocacyInAction #CommunityLeadership
