Just finished the U.S. Constitution. Reading primary sources is one of the best ways to better understand history.

Just finished my first professional read of the summer: Shifting the Balance. One takeaway: growth often comes through thoughtful reflection and small shifts rather than dramatic changes. Grateful for the opportunity to keep learning, reflecting, & growing as an educator.

Just finished rereading My Life with the Saints by James Martin, SJ. One takeaway that stayed with me is the idea that we spend too much time trying to be who others expect us to be instead of becoming who we were created to be. A good reminder heading into a new week.

Stopped by the Mehlville School District Art Show today. Great to connect with fellow principals, former colleagues, and others from across the district—all in the building where I started my career as a teacher. A good reminder of how small this world can be.
