It’s not every day you get to meet a celebrity. 🤩🐧 Special thanks to Washington Elementary School in Moline and our friends at John Deere for inviting us to meet JiJi the penguin, mascot of MIND Education's ST Math. It’s all part of a special partnership that’s making math fun and engaging for students – and closing gaps so more students are on track for success in school and in life. It’s safe to say, JiJi stole the show yesterday. Did you know that Washington Elementary School in Moline is expanding education with integrated student supports in partnership with United Way?
