My name is Jalaina King and I am the coordinator for Communities in Schools at Blue Academy in Decatur Township.
A State Police Officer followed orders, investigated corruption—and got punished for it. The men he exposed? Now running our state. Thanks to @RobMKendall for not backing down. Listen to the podcast. The truth matters. #INpolitics #corruption
If Braun really cares about the State Police he will order the current superintendent to conduct a full investigation/report on why the recommendations made by State Police re Tom Kleinhelter were allegedly ignored and why Jeff Hearon was punished!
When passion meets purpose, it doesn’t feel like work. Spent 3 hours tonight with two of Blue Academy’s finest—brainstorming, dreaming, and planning for a strong school year. Their heart for students + leadership inspired me. I needed this. 💙 #TeacherLife #BackToSchool
My 8-year-old went to his first-ever MLB game today — Orioles at Camden Yards! ⚾️🧡 We hit 4 states in 1 day to get here… classic East Coast life. Big memories, big shades, and even bigger smiles. #Birdland #MLBDebut #CamdenYards
Just wrapped up an interview with @wfyi & @PBS talking about why public broadcasting matters—especially for kids. 📺✨ PBS opens doors to education, equity, and imagination for every child. So proud to be part of that story. #PBSKids #PublicMediaMatters #WFYI
Today, we’re sending love to all the different kinds of moms — because motherhood wears many faces, and every one of them is beautiful. A thread: #MothersDay #LoveForAllMoms @DELCBlue
Last night I met incredible CFOs from school systems serving 40k–400k students. Their thoughtful questions pushed me to reflect on how I can give more. Today, extra gym time w/ a special 6th grade class reminded me: my day-to-day is filled with grace, growth & the next generation
Today in SEL, students created “compliment plates” & filled each other’s with kind, encouraging notes. Watching them build each other up was pure joy! Here’s to growing kindness + empathy in every classroom. @DELCBlue #SEL #KindnessMatters #PositiveClassroom #StudentVoices
Love seeing our friends waiting for Special Transportation giving 6th graders high fives after recess! ✋✨ Not sure who looks forward to it more — the kids or the high-five crew! This is what community looks like @DELCBlue #SimpleJoys #KindnessMatters #HighFiveCrew #SchoolLife
Our first graders are learning all about teamwork! Every role matters — leader, helper, thinker, doer — and together, they make the dream work! Teamwork = learning, growing & winning together! #Teamwork #FirstGrade #LearningTogether #RolePower Go team! @DELCBlue
When students discover what they’re capable of, confidence follows. It’s not just about grades—it’s about realizing their own potential. Self-awareness builds self-belief. And confident students? They’re unstoppable. #StudentSuccess #Confidence #GrowthMindset @DELCBlue
Two girls, big feelings, and little bodies—today has been full of awesome moments! Now it’s time to slow down, relax, and express all those emotions through some painting. 🎨 Because every big feeling deserves a little creativity. 💖 #SocialEmotionalLearning
What an amazing time to be a Blue Academy student! Our 4th graders were rollin through P.E. today, literally! They had a blast roller skating and showing off their moves! Huge shoutout to Miss Natalie it’s her first year teaching, but you’d never know it! She’s a rock⭐️ on 🛼
Parfaits + Paint = the perfect ILEARN break! Our 5th graders hit pause on testing today to chill out with some sweet treats and creative vibes. Because sometimes you just need to paint, snack, and relax your brain a bit! #ParfaitAndPainting #ILEARNBreak #CreativeKids
🌟 Building self-esteem starts with small wins! 🌟 Encourage students to celebrate their achievements, no matter how small. Remind them that growth is a journey, and every step forward counts. 🧠✨@DELCBlue #ireadprep #tryingsomethingnew #studentsuccess
This week in our 5th grade small social group, we're focusing on being reflective! 🌟 How can we commit to a specific action that will help us take more responsibility both at school and at home? Let’s work together to make positive changes! Follow me on Insta: selroom222

Trading in my elementary roots tonight for a #glowdance at Liberty Pre-K! Great job tonight to our pre-k friends! @MSDDecatur
Today started the first day of testing @DELCBlue for our amazing 3rd graders. I found these notes of encouragement laying on their desks this morning. The first one is an older brother encouraging his 3rd grade brother and the other one is from a dad to his sweet daughter.
Just some girls that love their cheetah print @DELCBlue today.
Using the “snowball fight” method in this @DELCBlue 5th grade Restorative Circle today. This is always a great exercise for introverts and those aren’t comfortable speaking in front of others to be available to get their point of view known. #sel #restorativecircles
