For more than 50 years, the President of the United States has issued a proclamation announcing National Small Business Week, which recognizes the critical contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners.
More than half of Americans either own or work for a small business, and they create about two out of every three new jobs in the U.S. each year.
As part of National Small Business Week, the U.S. Small Business Administration takes the opportunity to highlight the impact of outstanding entrepreneurs, small business owners, and others from all 50 states and U.S. territories. Every day, they’re working to grow small businesses, create 21st century jobs, drive innovation, and increase America’s global competitiveness.
Teachers change the lives of millions of children every day—their immense work and impact moves us beyond words. With the abrupt end to the physical school year, our teachers have done even more to continue education with virtual classrooms and learning at home lessons. All to ensure every student has the tools they need to reach their full potential. It’s in these challenging times, we truly recognize and appreciate how our nation’s educators play such a pivotal role in our children’s lives—inspiring a lifelong love of learning and discovery and making a difference in their well-being and long-term success.

AISD and NewsChannel 10 Partnership!!!
I wanted to tell everyone about an exciting Partnership that NewsChannel 10 and AISD is bringing to the marketplace.
KFDA- NewsChannel 10 is partnering with Amarillo Independent School District to offer time on KFDA 10.2 – NewsChannel 10 Too – to support continued at-home learning and provide greater access to educational resources.
AISD’s Secret Classroom premieres Tuesday, May 5 on KFDA NewsChannel 10 station 10 Too. Aimed to help At-Home Learning for pre-K through 3rd grade, the Secret Classroom is part of AISD’s In Sync program to partner with parents in the education of young learners. The original program, developed by AISD curriculum and communications teams, is taught by AISD teachers. Each episode includes the same lessons in math, science, writing and literacy that children would be learning in the classroom.
AISD’s Secret classroom airs Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 a.m. on KFDA NewsChannel 10 Too, with encore episodes Wednesdays and Fridays at 9 a.m., beginning May 5. NewsChannel 10 Too can be found FREE over the air with an antenna at 10.2 and on Suddenlink cable channel 6 as well as on the other area cable systems on varied channels. The lessons will also be streamed every Tuesday and Thursday at 10am on NewsChannel 10.com (Desktop, mobile and app) and in our ROKU, Fire TV and Apple TV apps.
We hope this service helps our kids and parents through-out the entire panhandle.
Thanks for everyone’s support. Be safe.

Mother’s Day is a celebration honoring the mother of the family, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. … The modern Mother’s Day began in the United States, at the initiative of Anna Jarvis in the early 20th century.
