We are so excited to welcome local author Nancy F. Goodfellow and her daughter Lily to our July Open House at TeachMe,LB⁠ for a special Author Meet & Greet from 2:00–4:00 PM on July 19th!

Nancy is the author of the heartfelt middle-grade novel Special — a powerful story about friendship, inclusion, grief, and belonging, told through the perspectives of two best friends: one with Down syndrome and one without. Inspired by real-life advocacy and experiences with her daughter Lily, the book encourages empathy, acceptance, and authentic friendship.

“Special” has been described as “Wonder for Down syndrome” and is already impacting families, educators, and young readers with its beautiful message of acceptance and staying true to who you are.

We can’t wait to celebrate this meaningful book and the incredible people behind it with our community!

These incredible kids!!! Kayla, Brynley, and TJ had a bake sale in their backyard during the Member/Member golf tournament and raised an AMAZING $268 for TeachMe,LB! They surprised me with an envelope of cash to donate to the center today and I am SO impressed and in awe.

I had a TeachMe mom ask me last week “how can you offer these Bible studies to us for free?” — my response? A generous community 😊

The more donations we bring in, the more free events and class waivers we can offer. From big to small, every single donation shows you care, and we are grateful for each one!

thank you for raising such generous kid; happy to steward their gifts for the glory of God!

The presentation of this amazing gift was overwhelming to say the least. We are so grateful for Perspectives Foundation - .raschke - for their generosity in helping us make our vision of a sport court a reality.

We have already begun the work on the space and are planning for it to be ready in time for our July 19th Open House BBQ Bash Fundraiser, and we hope you will plan to attend!

Event tickets are LIVE (link in our bio and on our website events tab) - it is a free event, but your support (through donations or community sponsorship) are greatly appreciated!!

Last night, after our first day of summer programming at the center, we were presented not only with an amazing donation, but with the hope and excitement of making a bigger impact in our community through our space. We hosted a small event titled “From Warehouse to Wonder” to showcase the generosity of .raschke and his daughters and through their Perspectives Foundation. They brought treats from and engaged with TeachMe families, board members and others in our community.

When Dean heard about us through our Board member he reached out for a way to help, and he and the girls stepped up big time, offering to help us complete our Sport Court vision. Their generous donation of $20,000, their thoughtful “TeachMe Wagon of Fun” and their desire to be involved in the process has been overwhelming and inspiring. We are beyond grateful and are praying that their generosity sparks others to become involved in what we’re building here.

Dean, Mia, and Olivia, THANK YOU doesn’t even scratch the surface.

Stick around to watch the process as we continue to transform our space to allow more programs for participants of all ages and all abilities!

Ephesians 3:20 “now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.”

Members of our Student Advisory Board met last night with our Board of Directors liaison, Katie Minott, to create their mission statement, vote on the executive positions, and plan out volunteer and programming ideas.

“The TeachMe, LB Student board’s mission is to empower students to create an inclusive community within TeachMe,LB by leading with kindness and compassion.” — how cool is that???

Congratulations to: Charlie, President; Skylyn, Vice President; and Alex, Secretary!

These students plan to get involved at TeachMe and build confidence in supporting enrichment for all ages and abilities. If your student wants to get involved, have them reach out so we can get them connected to the board! [email protected]
