On the train home after 4 days of thinking, analyzing, and conversing with amazing educators from all over the nation. Words cannot express how amazing this experience was. Thank you @americanart !!

@heymrsbond We did for more than 40 years. It was just cut in our most recent budget cut. More than 1500 students used it every year for assignments, personal statements, scholarship essays, speeches, and more.

Today I said goodbye to AHS and room 204, a place I’ve called home since 2012. I will always cherish the friendships and memories I made there. Luckily I had the best helper today to make it a little easier! Thanks for everything, Redbirds ❤️

@snook_joann I’ll never forget the disappointment on my students’ faces when I had to tell them we were not doing a salsa tasting followed by nap time 😅

[Mrs. Power @Maura__Power]

Overwhelmed with gratitude for the AHS English Department. Thank you for these farewell gifts, but most importantly thank you for being my colleagues, mentors, and friends. I so appreciate being a Redbird for the past 12 years.

[Mrs. Power @Maura__Power]

@ConnieEmbley Thank you so much Connie 🫶 I’ll always have fond memories of AHS. Redbirds foreverrrr!

Look at all of these books finishers! I came back from maternity leave on April 3 and all of these students have finished independent reading books since then. Some good titles in there if you need any recommendations! 📚

Excited to announce that I will be studying at the Smithsonian Institute this summer! This program sounds amazing and I cannot wait to learn new skills and use them in the classroom next year.
