Could not be more proud of this group of teachers. These teachers have high level of grit, tenacity and determination for student success. They come in each day with the mindset of "How can I better my students". #proudleader #education #leadership #teaching #studentsfirst

I had the same experience last week. I should have heeded my music teachers warning and brought ear plugs and Tylenol. However, these musicians had been practicing hard and it shows! #adminthings #education #musiceducation #teaching #recorders #music #arts

Today, I observed music class. It was recorder practice. And hot cross buns. If you need me, I'll be in the corner. Paying homage to elementary music teachers everywhere.



It was amazing getting to celebrate such amazing and hard working teachers who are getting recognized for their hard work. Congratulations for the nomination @DawnTorrain for #KTOY Region 2. It is a privilege working with you and watching you working with students every day.

When a student comes to you and asks for help developing a clothing drive, you help. When the same student says you should dye your beard blue if they meet the goal, you do. 1 tripled goal and 1 blue beard later. #admin #education #service #community #forthekids #teaching

One of my favorite staff moral boosters is the annual egg hunt. Staff search for hidden eggs that contain fun prizes. Taken from one of my previous administrator, I continue the tradition to each building I go to. #education #moralboost #teachers #admin #happyhunting

Today, I went mobile! Packed up some necessities and hit the hallway. I was able to be in so many different places supporting teachers and working with students. Looking forward to it again tomorrow! #mobileprincipal #mobile #admin #education #strongschools #culture

Got to hang out with 5th graders playing in a floor hockey tournament. After a month long unit learning about the game. Students were able to play 10 minute matches with little help and with great sportsmanship! #pe #sportsmanship #games #physicaledu #intermediate #education

I had never used Pear Deck until I watched it in action during an observation. It took a lot to suppress giggles when I saw how they do the login code for participants. Giggles aside, a great system to use. #peardeck #education #humor #classroom #funny #learning

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours. This year I am continually thankful for my family that support me, for each and every staff member that I have the pleasure to work with each day and for where I am in my career in education. What are you thankful for? #Thanksgiving

The artistic ability of students always amazes me! Students drew self portraits in the style of Tim Burton and did a great job. Staff joined in during a PD session and did our self portrait. I've included mine, I'm not as talented #arts #talent #education #drawing #intermediate

No School doesn't mean no work, just different. This morning, I am spending time learning how to better show my appreciation to my staff and enjoying some snuggles with Mr. Xavier. #appreciation #5languagesofappreciation #culture #schools #education #Cats #administrator #improve

Friday was an exciting day around the building in terms of #science instruction. 6th graders created their own volcano after learning about the different types. 5th graders in STEM worked on building the strongest tower to hold an item. #education #instruction #teachers #handson
