But most of all...♥️

[Teacher Problems @HSTeachProbs]

To my students of past, present, and future,

I hope you learn the subject I teach. But most of all, I hope I make you laugh, that you are inspired by moments in class, that you feel safe, welcome, cared for, and more.

You becoming a better person is the reason I do this job.

8th period’s History of Women in America class LOVED the suffrage breakout game that our BHS librarians hosted! @bhs_smith @BethStone__ @MonicaWest22

[Ms. DeLaCruz @delacruzclass]

We’re here! 🔥🔥🔥🔥The BHS Speech and Debate Team is competing this cold, rainy morning at Cookeville High School. Wish them luck! 🔥🔥🔥🔥@bhs_smith @BethStone__ @MonicaWest22

[Ms. DeLaCruz @delacruzclass]

4th period would like to give a shoutout to @cadenavant and his phenomenal acting today as Giles Corey from The Crucible! He dived headfirst into his character by speaking with an old man accent and even sobbing when the play called for it. 🤣 Bravo! @bhs_smith @BethStone__

[Ms. DeLaCruz @delacruzclass]

Happy Saturday morning from Dickson County High School! The BHS Speech Team is ready to compete in our second competition of the year. They’ve been coming to my classroom early and staying late to prepare. Great group of kids.Wish them luck! @bhs_smith @BethStone__ @MonicaWest22

Great Morning with Team 25! Real Guys!

[Ms. DeLaCruz @delacruzclass]

@oncalej Thank you, my sweet friend.❤️

[Ms. DeLaCruz @delacruzclass]

Good grief. “Must” be the first day of speeches. Not “much.” 🤦🏻‍♀️ #proofreadingisessential

[Ms. DeLaCruz @delacruzclass]

See kids outside of D-8 pacing with nervous energy and practicing? Much be the first day of speeches! @bhs_smith @bhstrakas @BethStone__ @MonicaWest22

[Ms. DeLaCruz @delacruzclass]

How do I motivate my students during CERT? I put my original student loan debt on the board while explaining to them the opportunities afforded to their generation that haven't always been available. Higher ACT=More $$$ @bhstrakas @bhs_smith @BethStone__ @MonicaWest22

[Ms. DeLaCruz @delacruzclass]

Free haircuts and hairstyles tomorrow from 3pm-6pm!

[Smyrna West Library @SWAbookreview]

This is a great opportunity for former students who thrived in our small setting, are dedicated to making positive choices for their lives, and are eager to graduate. Check out Holloway this a Thursday. @HollowayHigh

So very proud of Marciana Johnson and Hamza Fareed for their graduation speeches! These kids attended weekly practices for months and probably never want to hear the words “voice inflection” again. I am SO proud of you both! 👏🏼🙌🏼 @bhs_smith @BethStone__ @bhstrakas @MonicaWest22
