@splann19 Cool ideas! Would love to see this in action.

[Caesar Campana IV @caesarciv]

@AmyLaughter You too, Amy!

[Caesar Campana IV @caesarciv]

Really cool to have seen, from idea to final product, how @Mebane_Rash @EducationNC taps into the ideas of education visionaries @educatingeorge @twinologist @FreebirdsShire in order to shine light all over NC. Caroline Parker and her team did great justice to that vision.

Once upon a time, at dinner in Feb. 2018 with ⁦@caesarciv��� ⁦@twinologist⁩ ⁦@FreebirdsShire⁩, the idea of telling the story of Clay County and the strength of our rural places, the story of schools and churches as anchor institutions in our communities surfaced.

Special happy 4th to @Morristeach1. Education is the one universal solution to every problem we face, and Mariah has been the lighthouse for us all.

[Mariah Morris @Morristeach1]

Today is my last day as the 2019 @BWFUND NC TOY! What an exciting, meaningful, and at times crazy year this has been. If I had the privilege of connecting with you this past year: thank you. I am infinitely richer in friendship after this past year, and I thank you for that gift.

@Ajhicks41 @Monroe_Mustangs @creddings_katie @LC_JacketsFB PS...as an old football coach, I love your patience and vision on zone runs.

[Caesar Campana IV @caesarciv]

On behalf of the whole Lee County family, I'm spotlighting AJ BOULWARE, headed to @Monroe_Mustangs in NY. One of NC's most accomplished running backs during these past two years - he's rooted in family, humility, maturity & a relentless work ethic. Congrats, AJ! #LCSDECISIONDAY

Thank you @EducationNC for giving us a platform, to @southappalachia (‘20 RTOY Dawn Gilchrist) for leading the charge, and to ‘20 RTOY Chad Beam for his moving testimony. Most importantly, thank you to all classified staff out there who continue to serve children of NC. #nctoypoy

Marianne Leek (RTOY ‘07) from @TheHHSSwarm is at it again with a moving piece in @BitterSouth. Great job giving big voice to the (iconically laconic) westernmost part of N.C. https://t.co/IlZcbsfFiW @chuckreese #nctoypoy

[Governor Josh Stein @NC_Governor]

Grateful to have such hardworking teachers in our state who are adapting to this unprecedented time & continuing to give our students a quality education.

[Caesar Campana IV @caesarciv]

The pen of @southappalachia (Dawn Gilchrist) brings me comfort during this time. Y’all tune in when she wields that thing.

At a #COVID19NC meeting on Monday:
Principal: Our cafeterias in the county will be providing meals to anyone who needs food on Tuesday and Wednesday, then delivering by bus after that.
Teacher: Do people need proof of need?
Principal: No-- this is for anyone who's hungry.

[Caesar Campana IV @caesarciv]

@Morristeach1 Our district and school admins in Clay County are working very, very hard to make sure that we have the tools to facilitate learning. Our techs are making sure WiFi spans the parking lot. Custodians are ubiquitously cleaning. Cafeteria workers are candidates for sainthood.

[Caesar Campana IV @caesarciv]

As this is a fluid situation, there is nothing wrong with tweaking the game plan. Tell teachers Tuesday is Day 1 at home.

[Caesar Campana IV @caesarciv]

Ed Leaders: There is a moral imperative here that supersedes all else, and it is not student learning. So we teachers promise to work hard as always, but mandating that we do that hard work on campus is imprudent. 1/2 #nced @MarkRJohnsonNC #nctoypoy @DrBradJohnson

Powerful experience today. Very grateful to have been a part of it.

Thank you @Morristeach1 and @amays_bwfund for the opportunity to represent our students, classrooms, colleagues, and communities today with the candidates for N.C. Superintendent of Public Instruction #nctoypoy #EdfromtheEDGE

[Caesar Campana IV @caesarciv]

Powerful piece that’s all the more pertinent for educators trying to accurately gauge and adapt to the landscape of our students’ lives. Thank you (as always) ⁦@nytdavidbrooks⁩ https://t.co/gkmhr5ewfJ
