Always a pleasure to see my professor Dr. Clemons #VSCA23 #VSCAconference23

Today is bittersweet because the best Boss ever is leaving. I am extremely happy for her elevation and sad that I will no longer have my Friday after work vent sessions or see her happily brightening up our halls with her musical Fanny pack. This is not goodbye but see you later!

Our GRHS staff and mentors welcomed our White Oaks kiddos with so much love, fun, and energy. This great memory of HS will forever be etched into their minds and they will welcome it when it is their time. @GRHS_Stallions @BowserTennille @vbkimani @MrsKellyJFoster @Jenn_Eason

Pajama day for Reading Spirit month: I spent time with Pre-K, inside camping, reading books, and making S’mores. I promised I would make S’mores with them when I went to read this book with them about diversity. We love S’mores and Reading too! @vbkimani @WhiteOaksDragon
