You may end up spending forever browsing all the incredible options, like I’m doing, but please boost the signal on this and bid if you can! The #BooksforMaui auction is supporting post-fire relief efforts by way of four organizations. #BooksCanChangeLives

[We Need Diverse Books @diversebooks]

#BooksForMaui is now live! It is a bookish auction to raise funds for the Maui wildfire relief efforts. With the full impact, devastation, and loss of life of the wildfire yet to be understood, we encourage everyone to bid and/or signal boost: https://t.co/Z8HYt34Co3

It’s a beautiful day for a staff kickoff! #LiftTheLions 🦁 #ForwardFearlessly

[Jen (she/her) @FilsingerEDU]

When you spend the first part of your day connecting with other new-ish admin about delegating, prioritizing, & managing all the aspects of your role (shoutout to @TLBrombergAP 👏🏻) & the second part of your day digging into grading, pd for staff, & kickoff plans… 😍 #energizedAP

“Trust is not given, it’s earned.”

So true. Thank you for taking the time to share a little bit of your story with @Region4FCPS leaders at our kickoff today, @Gponce_Schools!

[Jen (she/her) @FilsingerEDU]

Powerful speech full of important reminders from LBSS grad & future educator Seoun Lee: “Please continue to help us believe in our abilities to succeed” & “please remind us that our value as a student & a human being is not determined by our test scores” 👏🏻 @Region4FCPS @fcpsnews

[Jen (she/her) @FilsingerEDU]

It’s kickoff day! You better believe @FCPSLibertyMS has spirit and we’re helping the CVHS pyramid take home the @Region4FCPS spirit oar! 🛶 #rowtheboat @fcpsnews @sarah_letina

Educator @ManningTechTalk's "active learner" prompts kick "I don't know" to the curb:

Congratulations, @wearecvillecats grads! And bravo, Mr. Munson. 👏🏻 #reframeyourstory

[Jen (she/her) @FilsingerEDU]

@itsAPCosgrove I was thinking the same thing when CVHS grads came through Liberty yesterday!!

[Jen (she/her) @FilsingerEDU]

Not okay. NOT okay. NOT OKAY. 😡

@hblangstein @FCPSLibertyMS @heyyyitslivv Aww it’s one of my former class board kiddos and an all-around awesome human being. Congrats, Olivia! 👏🏻

[Jen (she/her) @FilsingerEDU]

Have waffles. Will deliver.

Happy teacher appreciation week to the dedicated professionals who show up every day for our students! ❤️

(Special shout-out to our building engineer, Ayman, who cheerily jumped in with the admin team behind the waffle makers this morning. 👏)

Today, my current Lions got to hear from a former Lion & overall incredible young man who I was lucky to meet when I taught @ CVHS. Thank you, @TurnerKobie! You spoke powerful & important reminders into their worlds, reminding them they are enough, just as they are. #LiftTheLions

[Jen (she/her) @FilsingerEDU]

Me to my (almost) 7 year old: What do you think mommy did at work today?

Him: Walk around, talk to your students, & um… like… do some work. Oh & maybe sometimes have fun.

Never a boring moment at home or school! 😂#MommyAdminLife

[Jen (she/her) @FilsingerEDU]

Spent the AM connecting with other first & second year school-based leaders. Then, spent the beautiful sunny afternoon with the rest of my staff, delivering 20th anniversary @FCPSLibertyMS signs to every one of our students. A bucket filling kinda day! #LiftTheLions 🦁 #OurFCPS

[Jen (she/her) @FilsingerEDU]

@MrDrewCampbell @KeyMiddle So excited for you and the Key community!!
