@Nivada_Spurlock @TROYPsiPhiGuy I still think of Twitter as “the little bird” thanks to you 😂😂

It was a great day meeting with future teachers in @AuburnU. Excited to see the amazing things they will accomplish in their careers in education. Also, so glad they allowed two @UofAlabama grads to visit
😂🐘🦅

We didn’t get to meet in person due to Hurricane Ian, but I’m still thankful I got to see the @LifeSouth board members virtually. To find a blood drive near you, click here: https://t.co/jVASw7KTeb #donateblood 🩸

It’s been 2 years since our faculty & staff could be together for Institute. This is one of my favorite days of the year, & it was amazing cheering on the start of school with all of my coworkers (aka friends)! What you do matters…so let’s make a difference together! #WeAreHWD

[Merrick Wilson @MerrickWWilson]

“The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” Im always reminded of why I ❤️ working in education during the start of school each yr. I get to see the passion & excitement our teachers have for their profession & their future students. #schoolpr
