Last day of year 17 @IrvingHigh , wow how things have changed over that time. Irving was never on my map being an Air Force brat from Valdosta Georgia and then growing up in Johnson County south of Fort Worth, but now I look to one day retire here! @IrvingISD saved my life, twice
@JadonWalters@jdouglas4 Completely agree. I like to look up and see the lap number and running order at all times. Had to wait a while for animations yesterday.
Everyone Needs These THREE Things! If you don’t have them you’ll feel lost.
Make sure you have a:
1. Mission.
2. Team.
3. Scoreboard
If you retire you have to find a new mission, team and scoreboard.
If you go through a life change you’ll likely have to find a new mission, team and scoreboard.
Following the death of Deputy Timothy White right here in Tampa, I wanted to share this message with each of you.
There is an epidemic plaguing our first responders. It is important that they know they are not alone. There is help and information available, thanks to fantastic groups like @CrisisCenterTB. Reach out to them, or make use of the resources below.
To all civilians, I ask you to share this message and join in the fight. Our first responders are the ones that run in while others run out. They have our six, we need to have theirs.

Being obsessed with happiness can make us unhappy.
Joy doesn't arise from ruminating about our emotions. It comes from immersing ourselves in worthwhile experiences.
Happiness is not a goal to pursue. It's a byproduct of leading a life of meaning and engagement.

🎉 It's here!
Each year, we share this as a starting point to honor and celebrate the amazing educators in our lives.
Remember, EVERY day is a great day to celebrate someone and remind them they matter to you!

Ghosting isn't always due to a lack of care. It’s often a misguided effort to avoid hurting someone.
Many people stop replying to shield others from pain. They don't realize being ignored is usually worse than being rejected.
Candor stings briefly. Silence leaves an open wound.
So sweet! ❤️❤️
The students at Tinker K-8 made Valentines as part of U.S. Rep. @KathyCastorFL Valentines for Veterans initiative.
This morning, Rep. Castor & School Board Member Stacy Hahn visited Tinker to pick up the cards & deliver them to a local Veterans hospital.
A key to lifelong learning is to see everyone you meet as a potential teacher.
No one has a monopoly on wisdom. Each interaction is a chance to question old assumptions and gain new perspectives.
Collecting lessons from others is the fastest way to fill gaps in your experience.
Here's something every leader could do today.
Brag about someone every time you feel like complaining.
Build an environment where people feel like they matter.
