@Coach_Gonzo What a great group!

@TS_Secrets As a former competitive gymnast, I feel like that is part of that sport specifically. Other sports such as basketball, baseball, soccer, etc there is no reason.

@CoachCarrollONW Yay Chris! Congratulations!

@RavenPrideONW Congratulations to all of you!

@eduleadership Define reasonable. When teachers have to go the extra mile for kids that have been suspended and did not do work while gone or reached out that is the problem.

Congrats to @onwfootball for their huge win tonight and for sealing their first trip to the state championship!!!

Analog teaching still wins where it matters.
Print reading boosts comprehension, handwriting strengthens thinking, and focused discussion deepens understanding: all backed by decades of cognitive science. You don’t need a device to build knowledge. You need books, pencils and high-quality talk.

In a world obsessed with digital solutions, the fundamentals are still the most powerful tools we have.

How might your teaching change if you stripped it back to what actually works?

With deep sorrow, we say farewell to Pearl Harbor survivor George W. Blake, a soldier who stood in the fire of history on that fateful morning of December 7, 1941. Under a sky filled with flames and chaos, he held his ground as America’s innocence burned away, and its resolve was born. For decades after, he carried the memory of those who never came home, not as a burden, but as a sacred duty. Today, his watch has ended, and he joins his 1,177 fallen brothers in eternal peace. We remember his courage, his humility, and the quiet strength of a man who never stopped honoring the day that changed the world.🕊️🇺🇸⚓

1. If you're leaving your house because you have to work, just be careful. If you're leaving your house for a mango rhubarb slushee, first of all, gross, second of all, you don't need it.
