Practice Makes Progress!

Mural reading Practice Makes Progress at Concord Elementary in Edina, MN.

Technically a gift from family, not from the foundation, but I wanted to share this here anyways.

Penny had three fantastic teachers at Concord Elementary - Ms. Rock, Ms. Erstad and Ms. Stacey - and each of them made a huge impact on building Penny’s confidence. To honor her, the school is painting murals of three slogans her teachers used. We know these helped Penny and we hope they inspire every kid who walks through that school.

The first mural, Practice Makes Progress, is finished and a big thanks to Jon King for his great work. This is Ms. Stacey’s class motto and it hangs in the stairwell next to her room. I remember when she told me this at the second grade open house, I knew immediately that Penny was in the right place.

Lots of love to the entire Concord community as they start their new year!
