As we approach Christmas I’m reminded Jesus never concerned himself with the size of the crowd. He just served and helped who was in front of him and the crowds flocked to him. You want to make a difference start with the people in front of you. Start there. Love, serve and care.

@MarloweElem @RayannMitchell Thinking of you all and praying that everyone is safe through the storm.

Embrace the gifts this day offers you!

Good morning! Today you were given another chance to sing, to laugh, to cry, to learn, to have meaningful conversations, to create, to encourage, or to do a kind deed. Embrace the gift of seeing another sunrise! Have a great day!👊

@erikaed22 So proud of you, Emma! What a great world this would be if everyone felt like you! Your kindergarten teacher has a tear in her eye…

It’s also so much fun to see our students excel at each concert!! Lots of favorite kiddos here tonight!!

[Stacey Cole☮️ @StaceyCole]

And you can always expect audience participation. As you can see by our audience, there isn’t a soul in the house Mrs @dndmort can��t engage!

Bittersweet sweet night as we both appreciate all the wonderful concerts ⁦@dndmort⁩ has given us through the years yet wish her well in retirement. It’s amazing to see such a large crowd tonight!!

[Jon Gordon @JonGordon11]

On Good Friday all hope seemed lost. But Sunday was coming! Whatever your challenge, Sunday is coming for you too. Stay Positive, God has a plan.

Our future is so bright! Thanks, third graders, for doing your best!

Dear Students, When I am asked by a perspective employer about you…I will not tell them about your grades or the clothes you wore. Instead, I will share about your honesty, work ethic, leadership qualities, and most importantly, the way you treated others. #Pleaseremember

[Dr. Marcia Tate @drmarciatate]

You don’t have to be perfect to be a good teacher. If you’re doing your best and care about your students, I assure you, you’re not just a good teacher—you’re a great one. #edchat

Audience participation was an expectation tonight and all of our families rocked this song too. I love being a small part of #AmericasSchools. Special things happen here on the daily.

[Stacey Cole☮️ @StaceyCole]

Grateful for phenomenal music teachers throughout our schools. Tonight our first graders put on a great show! Thanks Mrs. Mortenson for making sure they get an early love of music!
