From a Kansas shoe repairman's vision to a national tribute: Alvin King believed ALL veterans deserved honor, not just WWI heroes. His 1953 push transformed Armistice Day into Veterans Day—a time to thank every American who served. 🇺🇸 #VeteransDay

🎓 Success isn't magic—it's a formula! S = A + E + R (Attendance + Effort + Resources). Every day you show up is a step toward your goals. Your presence matters, your effort counts, and your future is built one day at a time. #WHeRiseTogether 💡✨

Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school and themselves. Start building this habit now so they learn right away that going to school on time, every day, is important. #WHeRiseTogether

🏫 Chronic absenteeism affects students at every level! From elementary through high school, factors like low self-efficacy, poor school climate, and weak teacher relationships increase absence rates by 1.5-1.9x. Let's support ALL our students! #WHeRiseTogether

Absenteeism is a lost opportunity to learn. #WHe can’t afford to think of absenteeism as merely a lack of compliance with school rules. Students who are chronically absent
in 6th grade have lower achievement than their peers. #BePresentBePowerful #WHeRiseTogether
