Abbott Elementary star and Emmy Award-winning actress Sheryl Lee Ralph (center) moderates an education town hall at Walt Whitman High School to kick off Teacher Appreciation Week. (WTOP/Luke Garrett)The hit TV show “Abbott Elementary” chronicles the lives of teachers at an underfunded and mismanaged public school in Philadelphia. The show is a mockumentary, where the actors are filmed as if they’re subjects in an actual documentary.While the show itself is fiction, “Abbott Elementary” star Sheryl Lee Ralph, who plays veteran teacher Barbara Howard, said the show accurately depicts how little teachers get paid for doing so much.

Katrina Petit, an 18-year-old high school senior, appeared in court on Sunday to face eight charges after allegedly creating a fake school shooting threat that went viral on social media.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:48:25 GMT

Raylee Leiman is one of the top high school softball players in Broward County and the state, but what this St. Thomas Aquinas player does off the field is, in a way, more important than what she does on game day for the Raiders.“When I’m on the field, I’m always thinking about these kids,” said Leiman.Leiman has devoted her time away from softball and school to help raise money at the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, which specializes in treating pediatric cancer.“These kids became my reason to play softball,” said Leiman. “When I’m not playing well, there are kids in the hospital that want to be playing. They don’t care what the results are. So, I try to put myself, not in their shoes, but to consider what their minds might be thinking at the time. They could be on the field, but I am on the field.”Leiman’s nonprofit foundation has raised nearly $50,000. In August 2022, she donated $5,000 to the Jeff Conine C...
