Our PTA spoiled us! Hate that I missed out, but my cup and a centennial shirt are waiting for me! #LifeatLilyB

When your school gets featured on the “Tell us something good” segment on the news 🥰 https://t.co/2TT1HmAJth

High level parent involvement in school activities leads to finding random moments like this! Mother & daughter running & walking together at run club. Grateful for all the parent volunteers to help us make this club possible #LifeatLilyB

Today I received a very unexpected and unsolicited call from @RepRamonRomero’s office since I am my HOA’s president. @EpfpTexas staffer was warned he’ll be hearing from me regarding Texas education policy NOT HOA, especially now that I have the attention of his office. 😬

Despite all the variables and unexpected challenges including with the testing system, we were given an additional week to complete testing. Tomorrow will determine if we need it! Yesterday I started with pages of students needing to make up one or both tests! #LifeatLilyB

I am so fortunate to serve some amazing teachers. Despite two short weeks, an high number of absences (10-15%), & school centennial events, we have 1 day remaining in the original MAP growth window and just 2 students needing to make up a test! #LifeatLilyB

@DrLCampbell Such a well deserving person!

[Kristine Harper PhD @KHarperpjhs]

Gotta love these kids who share my love of running. Hated that we cancelled practice due to the weather, but my injured knee was grateful for it. Hopefully my fabulous PT has me fixed soon, then it’s back to the afternoon “play” these young runners.

Week 1 back from break and week 1 of MAP are done! These kids are making their teachers very proud!

First day of spring semester is in the books! The 5th graders had everyone smiling and laughing in the cafeteria as they started dancing in their seats to the music coming from the kitchen! So beyond grateful for the fun memories #LifeatLilyB

Teachers learning about Hattie’s research. They ranked the strategies in order of growth impact before comparing their ratings to what the research says

[Kristine Harper PhD @KHarperpjhs]

MAP growth & MAP reading fluency training and collaboration! Love the great questions teachers have posed and how they are already on top of a couple curveballs we’ve already been given this week! #LifeatLilyB

[Kristine Harper PhD @KHarperpjhs]

@FraguadaR Have a fantastic semester with your sweet students! Miss you!

[Kristine Harper PhD @KHarperpjhs]

So grateful for the opportunities 2021 gave me, many doors started to open, some closed slowly, some slammed shut, while the right door opened at just the right time. Grateful for the opportunity to continue to grow and learn while leading teachers.

The 5th grade Christmas program is a hit! They held live performances for the student body and tonight will get to perform for their parents.

Singing in the halls day 4! Today we had guest musicians from both the Dallas and Fort Worth Symphonies #LifeatLilyB

[Kristine Harper PhD @KHarperpjhs]

Day 3 of singing in the halls! Today we moved it outdoors so our parents could safely join in the fun! #LifeatLilyB

[Kristine Harper PhD @KHarperpjhs]

Day 2 of singing in the halls. Watching and listening (of course joining in) to these kids make my heart happy for these tradition. The younger kids really got into the songs they knew #LifeatLilyB

[Kristine Harper PhD @KHarperpjhs]

Day 1 of caroling in the halls. What a fun tradition! Why not get dressed up for the occasion. The littles loved it, until a 1st grader said I looked silly 😂 #LifeatLilyB

[Kristine Harper PhD @KHarperpjhs]

Day 1 of run club at Lily B! We are training for the Cowtown Children’s 5k. Combining students, teachers, parents, and one of my favorite hobbies all in one makes my heart overflow with joy! #lifeatLilyB
