Saw & Juliet at the Bushnell yesterday afternoon and it was fantastic! Smiled, laughed and danced in my seat for the entire show! And my former student Jared was phenomenal!! #TeamJuliet #SheChoseChaos

Very grateful for Street Law, my students past and present, and everyone who has supported this journey along the way. Thank you @streetlawinc.bsky.social

Teaching government and law has never really been about memorizing court cases or passing exams for me. It’s always been about helping students find their voice, challenge ideas, ask better questions, and realize they belong in these conversations too. Tonight felt like a celebration of that.

Katie Boland @kboland.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

And having Matt Buckwald there too, a 2016 graduate from one of our Top Ten We the People teams who is now doing incredible work in DC, was another reminder of why this work matters so much.

What made the night even more meaningful was sharing it with two former students. Jiya, now a freshman at Georgetown University, introduced me for the award tonight. Seeing one of your former students standing at the podium speaking about your classroom is a pretty surreal feeling.

Still trying to process tonight a little. I’m incredibly honored to receive the Street Law, Inc. 2026 Classroom Champion Award in Washington, DC. @streetlawinc.bsky.social

Another half marathon in the books! Set out to do a full one (two legs) but opted to stop after one since I didn’t get to train. Sometimes you just know when you shouldn’t push it. Still loved my time in the woods at my favorite place and seeing all my awesome Team Fox friends. #rocktheridge #mohonk

We loved seeing Connecticut in action at the We the People National Finals. The preparation, poise, and depth of constitutional understanding on display in the Top Ten finals were remarkable. #WTPFinals

What an amazing day! Really proud of this group. Smart, prepared, and confident. They brought amazing constitutional knowledge and represented Connecticut so well in the Top Ten finals last Sunday. I am so so proud of them!!! #WTPFinals @civiceducation.bsky.social

Tonight our We the People team took the stage for our Dress Rehearsal with Nationals just a week away. What stands out most isn’t just how prepared they are, but how much they genuinely care about the Constitution and the principles behind it.. Nationals is next. The pride is already there.

Day 3 of #NCSS2025 Final morning in DC with a @retroreport breakfast (thanks for always spoiling your teachers) and now our train ride back home with an extra bag of books and goodies to bring back to school. #DemocracyDependsOnIt

Afterwards, Andrea and I walked down to the White House to see the National Christmas Tree (so disappointing & not the one on the pic) and met my niece Abby for a quick visit. Then we were off to a Happy Hour thanks to @retroreport #DemocracyDependsOnIt #NCSS2025

Then I got to be in the room with Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Hearing her speak about the law, justice and her confirmation woven together with personal stories of her parents, her mentors, and the college best friends who lifted her up was profoundly inspiring. #NCSS2025
