Three people are posing together in a well-lit indoor setting, smiling at the camera. They are all wearing blue lanyards with badges attached. The person on the left is a woman with shoulder-length, light brown hair, glasses, and a black outfit. Her badge reads “Kalee” and “Eagle Pass ISD.” The person in the middle is taller, with short brown hair, wearing glasses, a dark blazer over a colorful, science-themed shirt, and a badge. The person on the right is a woman with long, dark brown hair, wearing a dark gray zip-up jacket with “ISD” embroidered on it, a teal top, and holding a book and a red bag. The background features a yellow wall with a framed picture and part of a banner visible.

The image shows a book cover titled ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER: Stories of Unity Through Diversity and Inclusion by Shelley Moore, with a foreword by Leyton Schnellert.

Speech Pathologist Summer Broekhof is trying out a "buddy device" in peer-to-peer today! Kids learn best from each other.

A classroom setting with three young children and a teacher engaging in an educational activity. The children are seated at a wooden table, working on worksheets with images, glue sticks, and tablets. One child in the foreground is using a tablet with a communication app. The teacher, wearing glasses, a brown jacket, and a graphic t-shirt, is standing and assisting the children. The classroom has wooden cabinets, a couch, and exercise balls stored on top of a cabinet in the background. The environment suggests a special education or inclusive learning setting.
