Alabama's District III Secondary Teacher of the Year is none other than Kira Aaron at @VHHSFC. In December, I asked her about what keeps her motivated to teach at such a high level every day. Here's what she said. @vhcschools
Could not be happier to have found out last night that I maintained my National Board Certification! Becoming a NBCT was the most challenging yet rewarding thing I’ve done in my career and I’m thrilled to continue calling myself a National Board Certified Teacher! #NBCTstrong
Mr. Rice from @VestaviaHillsAL finance dept & Mr. Farrel w/ @VestaviaFire taught my 3 math classes today about things needed for the food trucks they’re creating- inspections the fire dept does & they filled out applications & received a business license! @vhcschools
We kicked off our food truck project today by hearing from our Child Nutrition Program Manager, Mrs. Brenda. She talked us through how she estimates how much food to order and other aspects of serving food. We realized how hard these ladies work! @vhcschools@VHElemEast
Has the MOST fun eating lunch with my girls today. We planned a holiday gathering and they taught me the game “broken telephone”. Highly recommend! @vhcschools@VHElemEast

Thank you @LVHVestavia for visiting us during book buddies today! We enjoyed showing you the STEM activities we do with our 1st grade friends. @vhcschools
Tonight was our first AL MVP book club of the year and let me tell you- this group is on fire! We are reclaiming our energy, passion and time by studying “Educator Bandwidth” by @JaneKise and @AnnholmNet. Educators- you need this book! @Milken@AlabamaAchieves
We heard everyone’s purpose statements at this week’s AL Milken Visionary Partnerships meeting. What a passionate group of educators positively impacting education in Alabama! Thanks to Reggie White, our state TOY for also sharing his purpose. @Milken
