I am super proud of this kid @Chase_simmons02 you are going to big things. Hard work, determination, and grit pays off. #relentless

After getting extremely close with this coaching staff, talking to my family, and most importantly asking the Lord to give me direction as I made my decision. I’d like to announce my commitment to @CoastalFootball and ball at the beach! @CoachChadwell BAM🎉🦁

There is something magical about a school where professional development is led by the staff. Differentiated and self selcted... That’s how we do Innovator Hour @nmbmchiefs #growthmindset #relentless

[James LaPier @LapierJames]

Dare to do something crazy to boost morale! Your teachers need it. I hope @nmbmchiefs are ready for “The Puma Cat”. I love my school and school family. #relentless @Rachel_Vaughn_

[James LaPier @LapierJames]

Thank you ⁦⁦@JonGordon11⁩ for sound advice. This stands true for all educators who are leaders to their students. #relentless

[James LaPier @LapierJames]

This has to be our mindset everyday. Especially during these uncertain times. #nmbmchiefs #relationshipsfirst

[James LaPier @LapierJames]

The environment that we are in requires extra care of faculty and staff... #nmbmchiefs

[Hamish Brewer @brewerhm]

Trying hard to figure out what more I can take off my teachers plates right now!

[James LaPier @LapierJames]

The leadership team @nmbmchiefs spent some time brainstorming how to prioritize high yield strategies during uncertain times. Thank you @flipyrthinking for always pushing my thinking. Our students depend on it!

[James LaPier @LapierJames]

A unique spin on the traditional method of teaching students about the Plate Tectonics Theory...Prove me wrong! #nmbmchiefs #thinkoutsidethebox #domorewithless

[James LaPier @LapierJames]

I could not agree with this more. @SteeleThoughts we cannot overlook those who are with our students all day. Great reminder that we have a great responsibilty to all. #relentless #nmbmchiefs

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

I know we’re supposed to make our decisions based on the needs of the students... but we can never discount the needs of the adults in the school. They’re the ones taking care of the kids. And they want what’s best for students as well.

[James LaPier @LapierJames]

This is a great you man that exemplifies what it means to be a Chief! @NyliekL #relentless #nmbmchiefs

[Chris Parks @ChrisParksWBTW]

Congratulations goes out to @WBTWBlitz Grand Strand player of the week for week 2, @NMBAthletics running back Nyliek Livingston, nearly 200 rushing yards and 2 scores in their 35-7 win over South Florence last Friday! Much more at 6 on @WBTWNews13 @mreel25 @NyliekL

[James LaPier @LapierJames]

Question for the day... is it about covering all content? Or, is it about teaching students to think deeply and critically through your content? #lessismore #nmbmchiefs #strategicplanning

[James LaPier @LapierJames]

6th Grade ELA students are fully engaged. They are applying what they have learned about author’s craft, point of view, perspective, mood and tone to help determine who kidnapped Donovan. Great teachers equals great outcomes. @RaedeneAveritt @toscani_taya @knab_kara @CoachA_Long

[James LaPier @LapierJames]

@nmbmchiefs We know our mission. I am excited to get students back in the building.

[Dr. Timothy P. Martin, Ed.D @tpmartin631]

This 1st week, or next weeks, of school is/are NOT about academics. The children need to get re-acclimated socially and emotionally to a school that is much different than last September. New rules enforced by masks & plexiglass barriers are NOT normal for kids or adults.

[James LaPier @LapierJames]

This is definitely something to ponder...Who do you want to be to your students? @nmbmchiefs #relentless

[𝚂𝚝𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚗 𝚆. 𝙰𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚘𝚗 @web20classroom]

We get one opportunity to make a first impression at the beginning of the school year.

Will that impression be?

One of compliance and control?

Or will it be one of growth, reflection, culture building, and success?

Well said @mr_Alsheimer The level of care and passion runs deep. #nmbmchiefs

[Jonathan Alsheimer @mr_Alsheimer]

If you’re struggling today don’t worry.

The education world is seeing a lot of tears, frustration, and extremely overwhelmed teachers right now.

Trust me you’re not alone and those feelings only show how much YOU CARE.

[James LaPier @LapierJames]

It is important that I remember this as I always say things will not be perfect! I am thankful for a staff that understands this as we navigate through these unchartered waters. #nmbmchiefs #growthmindset

[James LaPier @LapierJames]

@msballatore @msballatore I appreciate your kind words. I know you have a very bright future in education. I look forward to continue seeing the great things you are doing for your students.

[James LaPier @LapierJames]

Thank you for sharing @LES8576 This is great insight. @nmbmchiefs #nmbmchiefs
