Any day I get to spend in #phled classrooms is a great day.

Yeah that's our #PHLed All-City kids smashing it on a huge stage for WrestleMania! You know it! (Thanks Patricia Gillett for the heads-up!)

Meet Mayor Cherelle L. Parker's new school board, raring to go on #PHLed facilities, year-round school, attracting/retaining teachers and more. Here are the 9, in their own words: inquirer.com/education/phil…

Your new #phled school board, should they be confirmed by City Council this month.

There's a big crowd for the #PHLed school board introduction at City Hall - not set to start until 1, and the room is already nearly at capacity.

Mayor Parker has made her #PHLed school board picks - 4 sitting board members, 5 newcomers. Story: inquirer.com/education/cher…

beloved heroes!!!

When you cover opening day fans and a fraction of your Phils-crazed family shows up too!

Overheard in section 324 - Braves fans start the Tomahawk Chop. Phillies fan approaches them. “You can root for your team, but don’t be racist.”

Ok Brandon Marsh! Phils take the opening day lead, fans go wild!

Love for Philly Rob!

The most beautiful sight of all. Opening day!!

On the first concrete look at the #PHLed budget, passed in its earliest form at last night's board meeting - w/promised year-round school pilot, talk of leveling, and Dr. Watlington's promise to 'protect the classroom at all costs.' Story: inquirer.com/education/phil…

Yeah Kristen Kurtis, thanks for that heaping dose of John Fogerty’s “Centerfield” on XPN Morning Show to get opening day started on the right note. We’re born again, there’s new grass on the field.

All agenda items pass! And board meeting is adjourned. #PHLed
