@jamesjavery DM me and let’s look at your resume.

Black Lives Matter. Time to make commitments, educators. And then follow through.

[Dr. Ian B. Saltzman @DrIanBSaltzman]

We hear you. Racism and bigotry are unacceptable. We commit to do better. We have work to do. https://t.co/SytNtB4AKa via @YouTube

[Dr. Sally A. Lancaster @Orondo_Sal]

I have been with the Everett Public Schools for over 30 years. This year I am more hopeful than ever before that we will make progress towards racial equity. Thank you @DrIanBSaltzman for your leadership and for your charge to make our district a better place. #BlackLivesMatter

[Matt Bennett @MBennett_edu]

Because we can do better. We MUST do better for our students. #BlackLivesMatter

Jean took a shot on me - she hired me for my first admin role. So much of what she taught me inspired my love for the middle level and how to create a community. Rest easy, Jean.

Today we lost a dear friend, excellent administrator and a champion for children. Jean Woods, founding principal of Desert Ridge Junior High, we love you and will miss you!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! I can’t think of a more noble profession. Hang in there teachers, it’s a tough time but you are doing admirably. Communicate, ask for help we needed, and take care of your physical and mental health. #thankateacher

@acdom I feel like that directly correlates to the number of cupcakes one had delivered.

So I’ve wanted to start a video message since I became a principal. We got the ball rolling, and it’s one way we are trying to keep our school’s culture alive. And, it’s fun! #leadwild

This is so great! I get to work with some amazing people.

@TomikaB Doing the beat we can! Simplified life. No year is without bumps, what a way to learn. And learn I have.

This is 0% what we had in mind for the first day of Spring Break, especially with the announcement today that schools are closed through the school year. But the weather is amazing, we’ll get a fire going, and relish in bonus family time. #pacnwspring
