Now it’s time to take care of thyroid cancer.
Celebrated with a meal and then drove through downpour and 80+ mph wind. Had to stop for 20 minutes.

Admin, when you visit classes this year & I hope you do often, don’t feel you have to critique EVERY time. Too often teachers are told, "you did great BUT", instead, " Leave the BUTS behind”. Let them know what they did well & move on. Leave them feeling validated & appreciated!

Before complaining about your local public school, spend 4 full days volunteering at the school.

[Tim Huls @TimmyHuls]

I’ve worked with several amazing coaches that have practiced this. Unfortunately, some parents have other priorities & push good coaches out.

[Rod Henkel @HenkelRod]

The latest chapter in my life, albeit a short one, ends today at Weeping Water. Now on to a place that is 45 minutes closer to home. My next chapter, and hopefully final one, will happen at Mead public schools. I hope the Raiders treat me as well as the Indians. Thanks Tribe

[Ginger Eikmeier @GEikmeier]

What an exciting day! 41 total events placing including 8 state champions!! And team champs for the fourth year in a row (yes, that means a clean sweep for the seniors)—so lucky to build on the foundation started by @HenkelRod!

The @NebraskaCoach celebrates the life of our family member, friend & teammate Saundi Fugleberg. She served coaches with a servant heart for 15+ years. No immediate plans for services, but the NCA will honor her during clinic week in July. Memorials can be sent to the NCA office.

What an utter embarrassment to have this boob Jim-Bob Shooter @Jim_Pillen on board of a major university

[Rod Henkel @HenkelRod]

My 180 day retirement requirement has officially ended. I can now claim to be an Indian. Please don’t let the sour look on my face fool you… I am excited for the new adventure.
