COLIN KAEPERNICK! 65 of Philly's newest storytellers (Extended Day, Extended Year students from Wright, Ferrell, and Roberto Clemente) presented the stories they authored using the Lumi Story Ai platform to an excited audience at the School District of Philadelphia, including Deputy Mayor Vanessa Garrett Harley, Superintendent Dr. Tony Watlington, Chief Education Officer Dr. Debora Carrera and Lumi CEO and American icon Colin Kaepernick. Thank you, SDP, for making this day possible. And a very special thank you to Kap for refusing to leave until every student got a photo and autograph.

🦒🐾 What a WILDLY successful May Town Hall! 🐘✨
 
This month, our MOE team ventured out to the Philadelphia Zoo for a day filled with connection, collaboration, and discovery. From our team-building scavenger hunt 🗺️🔍 to learning about the incredible educational resources, programs, and opportunities the Zoo offers for students, families, and our communities, we had the chance to explore all the ways this Philadelphia treasure can support our work.
 
Our goal is to continue uncovering resources throughout the city that help connect our communities to the rich experiences and opportunities Philadelphia has to offer. 🌆💙
 
We wrapped up the day by taking a stroll through the Zoo, enjoying the animals, making memories, and spending quality time together. 🐒🦁🦩
 
A HUGE thank you to the Philadelphia Zoo for hosting us and sharing all that you do to educate, inspire, and engage our communities. And thank you to everyone who attended and helped make this event so un-fur-gettable! 🐾❤️
 
Here’s to continuing to explore, learn, and grow together—one adventure at a time! 🎉

We're hearing it directly from the community. Across Philadelphia, parents, neighbors, leaders, people who see every day how much students rely on the adults in their schools.
They're speaking up for students at risk of losing 340 teachers, counselors, and climate staff who transform lives.
Our kids are worth it.
