A little behind the scenes from today. 💙

We had the privilege of attending the Oklahoma Literacy Coalition Board meeting with our literacy family from across the state. It’s always encouraging to be in a room full of people who care deeply about helping others through literacy.

I’m so thankful for the opportunity to represent Rogers County and be part of this important work. Together, we’re making a difference—one learner, one family, and one community at a time. 📚✨

We are proud to recognize two incredible instructors, Yadira Núñez-Gaxiola and Malinda Brown, in our 2026–2027 Instructor Appreciation Spotlight. 💚

Their compassion, patience, and dedication continue to make a lasting impact on the lives of our learners and throughout our community. We are deeply grateful for the encouragement, support, and heart they bring to our programs each day.

We would also like to thank Mrs. Riley for stepping in to support our English HiSET program during the spring semester. While not pictured, her time and dedication are sincerely appreciated as well.

Thank you all for the difference you make in the lives of our learners!

🧡 Happy Thanksgiving from the Rogers County Literacy Council

As I sit with gratitude today, I can’t help but reflect on the generations of my own family who came before me—hard-working, determined, resilient people who were often technically uneducated, and in some cases, completely illiterate. They built lives, raised families, and survived hardships with limited access to the opportunities we now work every day to provide for others.

Because of that history, I don’t believe I found this role; I truly believe it found me.
Literacy isn’t just textbooks and worksheets. It’s dignity. It’s independence. It’s unlocking doors that felt permanently closed. It’s the difference between surviving and thriving.

And it is my honor to stand in the gap now—to serve the adults of Rogers County and Northeast Oklahoma with compassion, respect, and unwavering belief in their potential.

I’m grateful every day for the learners who trust us, the tutors who give their time, the supporters who keep us moving, and this community that lets us walk beside them. We are building something lasting—and we get to do it together.

From my heart to yours—
Happy Thanksgiving.
May we all continue to lift each other up, one skill, one goal, one life at a time.
