The culture of a school is created by everyone in the school. Walk in a school and see how the front office staff talks and interacts or the custodians or teachers in the hallway. But admin is the thermostat that makes everyone feel valued, supported and appreciated.

Teachers if you don’t take time to refuel, recharge, and refill this summer then you will be running on fumes too quickly this fall.

A 92 year-old nun died today in a Carmelite Monastery in Illinois. She was kind of an unusual nun. She didn’t sing very well. She was frequently late to her required duties around the convent. She threw sticks for the communal dogs which was not allowed. Also she was my mother.

Thankful for Audible’s exchange options because I accidentally purchased my next audiobook in German instead of English. 😅

Carrie Chapman Catt’s legacy is something that is near and dear to my heart and I’m incredibly proud of the students that helped in the initiative to receive this award through the Iowa Secretary of State’s office. #HuskyNProud

[Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate @IowaSOS]

Very pleased to announce 18 schools earned the Carrie Chapman Catt Award during the 2019-20 school year by registering at least 90% of eligible students to vote.
The schools include:

Isaac Newton Christian Academy
Rivermont Collegiate...

Anyone else wish their brain would stop worrying about next school year and instead focus on finishing this one?

Does anyone else tell their pets "I'll be back soon" when you leave the house or is it just me?

I hope you've enjoyed this month-long celebration of poetry, but as April ends, so do my daily poetry posts. I've enjoyed searching for poems and trying to relate them to our lives and the current situation. Keep writing, keep creating, and keep sharing.

Day 30: Today is National Honesty Day and what is more important than being honest with yourself? Listen to yourself and don't be afraid to go after what you believe in. You have the choice to be who you want - take that chance and make the most of it.
