National Charter Schools Week

Today, I was honored to welcome students to the Capitol in celebration of National Charter Schools Week. In the Upper Peninsula, we’re proud of the education opportunities at Copper Island Academy. I only wish it were easier for more of our UP students to make the trip down to Lansing, but we’re thinking of you all and grateful for the impact you’re making in your communities every day.

I was invited to read to a Head Start classroom at Ontonagon Schools last Friday, and it was a joy to share a love of literacy with the young students. Spending that time together and seeing them connect with the story was a highlight of my week. It was truly encouraging to see their excitement and engagement!
