Double into the right field corner here for Mullins. Has been on the barrel all game with a 2 RBI single and then a long line out to the warning track to start the game as well. Big lefty frame.

Not every child walks back into school after Christmas break feeling rested, celebrated, or safe.
For some kids, the holidays are loud.
Or lonely.
Or heavy.
Or something they’re just relieved is over.
So as they come through our doors this week, love on your kids a little extra. A smile. A gentle word. Sitting down at their level. Letting them talk—or just letting them be quiet.
You may be the first genuine affection they’ve felt in two weeks.
The first adult who sees them.
The first place that feels steady again.
School isn’t just academics.
Sometimes it’s refuge.
Sometimes it’s regulation.
Sometimes it’s love.
Lead with grace this week.
Breaking: @Ooltewah_FB has named Matt Moody as its new head coach.
“Obviously they’ve had some tough years but everything is there to build it back into a winner. It’s a great opportunity.”

Classroom management IS managing the environment through authentic connection, consistent routines, procedures, and high expectations for all students.
Classroom management is NOT managing students’ behavior.
Manage the environment, not the students.
The entire trajectory of a child’s life can be changed for the better because of the impact of ONE caring adult in a school.
Newsflash: This is not dependent upon your job title.
Kindness + Compassion + Grit
This is what it takes.
It starts with YOU.
