Thank you to Shelby Floyd for the message, “How to Show Love to Your Child.”

Share Your Time. Discipline With Love. Listen When Lecturing. Learn to Laugh.

A great reminder for us as educators and how we can show love to our students each day.

Growing up an IU fan, I was a big Bobby Knight fan. What sticks with me now is his focus on discipline: “Discipline is knowing what to do. Knowing when to do it. Doing it to the best of your abilities. Doing it that way every single time.” #MondayMemo

“In life, you’re either growing or you’re dying.” – Lou Holtz
In education, growth isn’t about fixing failure, it’s about choosing to get better every day for our students. We can be proud of our work and still push to improve.

Last weekend at Winterfest, I was reminded that greatness is not about the spotlight. It is about service.
As educators, we have daily chances to model that for our students. #MondayMemo #GreaterThan #Winterfest
