Quinn’s science class placed their 2nd peace post at the side entrance of the high school. They chose the words “Be Kind” to greet students and adults coming in this door. 🩵
This tortoise understood it can go much faster with the help of a vehicle: it also learned how to make effective turns.

In my 20+ years in high school athletics, this is without question, the toughest time to be a High School Coach. With so many outlets (Select Sports, Skill Coaches, Social Media, etc) there are that many more opinions about how people should do their job. There isn’t a more scrutinized job for less money than what a High School Coach is expected to do and deal with every day. And it’s not going to get any better.
They have to manage grades, personalities, fundraising, booster clubs, parents, camps, budgets, and personalities more than most full time jobs do.
My advice to all of you, is fight the fight, because it’s worth it! You are the only ones in the arena, not the naysayers in the bleachers.. As I sit in the stands night after night, it’s becoming a sad experience listening just how easy people think these jobs are. At the same time it’s inspiring because it’s makes guys like me want to continue finding ways to give our coaches what they need when they need it. Most of the time, that’s just love and support! I am so damn thankful for our coaches and what they do every single day.
I see you in the film room when others are in bed, I talk to you when times are tough and expectations are high, and I see you with your arms around our kids even when the parents are convinced you don’t care. You know who you are, and what you’re about.
I remind you to remind yourself to coach for one reason: Love. Love for what you do, love for the kids, love for the process, and love for the lessons. While it’s harder now than ever to realize it, you are changing lives and making the world a better place… Even when others won’t take the time to realize that is what you are doing!
One big wall in my office, has a passage on it, and it’s there for a reason. It is posted below…
Check out this amazing labor of love from Vivienne! I am always blown away by the talent of the students in the HHS Makerspace. #dreamitmakeit#ExplorerPride
Wednesdays are Sweet Sensations days in Hudson! Evamere was so happy to welcome Genevieve and Savannah today! A handful of treats and two great kids - made my day!
What a true honor it was to teach #WorldMusicDrumming at @EtownCollege last week! Their Master of Music Education in Peacebuilding includes so many critical components of teaching and learning (social emotional learning, inclusive pedagogy, world music drumming, ethnomusicology)
”The famous Italian diver Enzo Maiorca dove into the sea of Syracuse and was talking to his daughter Rossana who was aboard the boat. Ready to go in, he felt something slightly hit his back.
He turned and saw a dolphin. Then he realized that the dolphin did not want to play but to express something. The animal dove and Enzo followed.
At a depth of about 12 meters, trapped in an abandoned net, there was another dolphin. Enzo quickly asked his daughter to grab the diving knives.
Soon, the two of them managed to free the dolphin, which, at the end of the ordeal, emerged, issued an "almost human cry" (describes Enzo). (A dolphin can stay under water for up to 10 minutes, then it drowns.)
The released dolphin was helped to the surface by Enzo, Rosana and the other dolphin. That’s when the surprise came: she was pregnant!
The male circled them, and then stopped in front of Enzo, touched his cheek (like a kiss), in a gesture of gratitude and then they both swam off.
Enzo Maiorca ended his speech by saying: “Until man learns to respect and speak to the animal world, he can never know his true role on Earth.”
Thank you @EllsworthMusic and @McMaster_Music for all you did in providing an incredible opportunity/job site for this young lady who dreams of being a music/choir teacher or teacher assistant 💜
Two incredible service learning students this year💜 we were so lucky to have Alex 1st semester and Rocco 2nd semester. You both made an incredible positive impact on all of us. We are all better for knowing you!
