I am excited about the start of another school year! I work with an incredible group of staff members. We are going to be ready to help all students this year. This year is going to be a great one. I love this reminder of why we teach and serve kids.
Had a great principals conference. Joe takes about being intentional and about the 30 second connections you make everyday could be what someone remembers forever. I love learning from other principals how to improve what I do everyday!
@NelsonRussellM Each week one of my sons or my wife or I find a conference talk and then that week we see what the scripture have to say about the topic. I have also drawn personal strength from listening to the inspiring words of our prophet since he became the prophet. Choose to be positive
Had a great opportunity to listen to and participate in our UAESP k-8 principals conference today. Hamis Brewer was our present or today. He has a great passion for students and talked to us about how we can make a difference in the love of students.
@rabbitlaneutah Roger, that was so well said! It is strange how sometimes it can be hard to say, it shouldn't be, I guess our world makes it hard for some reason. But I have found that what the world makes hard is what we need to do the most. Thanks for your message today! you inspire me!
Kwame said at our conference something that I truly believe: “The work we do is beyond test scores, we are saving kids lives. This work we do is sacred.”#besdlearningiseverything
