I haven't posted on X this year to focus what matters most, relationships. Its deliberate because I'm focusing on face-to-face, in person conversations. I still read others’ posts, but my priority is time with people, not the feed. #SomethingtoThinkAbout

@DonEppsEDU Love it! Will take a listen. Randomness is goodness!

Today is National Principal's Day. I just want to say thank you to all of my fellow principal's in Kansas and around the U.S. What we do is essential to the success of our schools, communities, the state and nation! @KSPrincipals @USAKansas @NAESP @NASSP

[KSPrincipals @KSPrincipals]

This week we recognize the amazing assistant principals we work with every day. The school’s AP works tirelessly on behalf of kids, of staff, and of parents.

Shout out your own AP by tagging @KSPrincipals and using the #APWEEK hashtag. Let’s hear it for our Assistant Principals!

I really enjoy @AdamMGrant posts. Its perspective that matters. Its a choice how we look at our outlooks on life. Gratitude is my choice.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Disappointment comes from knowing things could be better. Gratitude flows from knowing things could be worse.

We don't control events, but we do choose our outlook. Where we focus shapes how we feel.

For most people in most places, this is the best time in history to be alive.

Sounds about right.

You might have heard about our department's new rule requiring airlines to provide automatic refunds for cancelled or significantly delayed flights.

@MrRickSola @KSUWiley @KPACoolCoffee @MrRickSola I have full faith that you're going to love it. Its a great quick read with a mountain of leadership knowledge! What a cool gift!

My new favorite word: sonder.

It's the profound awareness that every person you encounter has experienced a lifetime of hopes, fears, loves, and heartaches that you'll never know.

Each moment of sonder is a reminder to appreciate how little we truly grasp about others' lives.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Reading to kids doesn't just benefit them. It's good for parents too.

Evidence: Reading regularly to children improves parenting skills, reduces stress, and builds lasting bonds.

In a distracted world, sitting together with a book is a rare occasion for undivided attention.

[John C. Cannon @BearcatPrin]

@alma_henry @usd271sgs One of the BEST!!!

[John C. Cannon @BearcatPrin]

I want to say thank you to my fellow Principals in KS and the nation for the tremendous efforts they do for their students, teachers and communities every single day! Our work is arduous, but worth it. Thank you Principals! #NationalPrincipalsMonth @KSPrincipals @NASSP @NAESP
