“I am very passionate about the work of NPEF. This organization creates the opportunity for the Nashville Community to collaborate with public schools and provide them information and resources they need to be successful. Through this collaboration, we have the opportunity to positively change lives.”

“Public education isn’t the problem; it is the solution.”

“As a graduate of the public education system in Louisville, KY, I understand it was the school, along with supportive and caring teachers, which helped me to imagine my future as a lawyer. My fourth grade teacher, Ms. Rice, made us write a paper about our future plans. I wrote that I was going to be a lawyer and help people. It was my public education and my teachers who helped me to realize my dreams.”
