@olivia_bandy I can’t wait to wake up and go drink coffee at Hardee’s (senior citizen discount) and read the newspaper with the old crowd. Gonna be epic!

In all the role models that this world has to offer (good or bad), I love that this is who Ava is looking up to. She has been SO excited about this - she said she didn’t even think she could sleep last night. I can’t wait to hear all about it!! 🙌🏻

[Donald Benton @DonaldBenton1]

Ava is participating in a “wax museum” exhibit today. 2nd graders choose a historical figure to be so students from other grades can come to view and hear facts about them. From the moment she got this assignment, Ava was adamant that she wanted to be @RubyBridges .

[Donald Benton @DonaldBenton1]

@RubyBridges was the first African American student to attend an all-white school. When we asked her why, she said she likes her and people who make a difference, who decide to do something and accomplish it (Rosa Parks was her second choice).

@timwinter76 @Daniel_Rapaport We have a responsibility to spread the positivity. Everyone wants to make everything into something negative and put people in a negative light. These guys are grinding on the tour and I hate to see people run their mouth about things the average person can’t come close to doing.

[Donald Benton @DonaldBenton1]

@timwinter76 @Daniel_Rapaport This is exactly correct! They were just wanting the right decision so he doesn’t take an incorrect drop. I didn’t feel there was animosity.

[Donald Benton @DonaldBenton1]

@KristenBrooks77 excited for the session today about maximizing student creativity with iPads! Also, @MayorKBrooks, I have heard some pretty great stories about you while in Florida. Sisters have the best stories!

@tngolftalk I bet it’s because irons are so inexpensive these days. Financially real convenient to the golfer. 😂🙄 #inexpensivemybutt

@Catlin_Tucker Lead professional development base camps on Thursday for our faculty and used quite a bit of the material I learned from you. We are now using the weekly grade update sheet and I used the quote about the meaning of assessment. It was well received! Thanks again!

[Donald Benton @DonaldBenton1]

@Catlin_Tucker it was nice meeting you and your keynote speech was spot on! I couldn’t DM you but was wondering if I could have your presentation PowerPoint? [email protected]

Oh dear… Vols down by fiddy!

[Donald Benton @DonaldBenton1]

@AutumnOBryanCCS @AkionaNat Absolute stud!

[Donald Benton @DonaldBenton1]

@TonyPatelis But yes, you are right, my Tar Heels stink.

@clevecityschool My son had a blast. Thanks to CCS for giving kids an opportunity to experience the fine arts. As a former band director, I love that CCS sees the importance of the arts! Bravo!!

[Donald Benton @DonaldBenton1]

This is how we should feel about people we work with. Sad and concerned about a colleague leaving, yet so happy that your buddy is taking advantage of a great opportunity. If we never encourage & support advancement, then people can become apathetic.

Lions HC Dan Campbell on what was going through his mind when DC Aaron Glenn was a top candidate for the Saints head coaching gig:

“I was happy as hell for him…but the thought of losing him was like I was gonna be walking around without any pants on.” 😂
