🚜🌱 Yesterday, Teacher Leadership Academy (TLA) participants spent the day learning the ins and outs of Alamance County’s agricultural sector.

From local farms to the agribusinesses that support them, our group heard from local agricultural leaders, learned about the challenges and opportunities facing farmers in our community, and identified opportunities to connect classroom learning with real-world experiences and career pathways rooted in our community.

An enormous thank you to the Alamance County Cooperative Extension and Alamance County Soil and Water Conservation District for helping make this day happen!

💗💃🏻🕺🏽 Our President, Tracey Grayzer, spent the weekend grooving for a great cause at Little Pink Houses of Hope’s annual Dancing with the Little Pink Stars!

Tracey joined community leaders from across the county, dancing to raise money to support women and familie a breast cancer diagnosis.

Little Pink gives women battling breast cancer the time and space to celebrate life alongside their loved ones, all while building a support network that ensures women and their families know they aren’t in it alone.

The gala was a wonderful reflection of this mission, creating space to simply be together—laughing, celebrating, and supporting an important cause. Congratulations to all this year’s dancers, and to Little Pink on such a fabulous event!
