Set the tone with relationships not rules. Make day one so exciting on day one that they cannot wait to see you on day two...day three...day four...day 172. Win the student's heart and everything else falls into place. #RelationshipsMatter#FirstDay
Good lesson from Coach Bieser about recruiting: Character is what separates the kids that we bring in. The difference in talent for top level athletes is small. Grades, behavior, and coachability are important. #LeadershipLessons
Gr8 address by Mizzou Baseball Coach Steve Bieser to start the MSHSAA Summer AD Workshop. His building blocks to positive coaching that can create a successful program. #LeadershipLessons#WeNotMe
A3: Parents should be patient at the start of the school year. It is a time of adjustment. Don't be quick 2 judge a class. 1 parent once told me that their daughter said the 1st day, "I'm not sure about this new English teacher." It was her favorite class that year. #leadupchat
Great statement by Nick Saban about the QB battle for his team: "The key is for one of those guys to win the team." The most important aspect of the most important leadership position in athletics is to get the others to buy into you not talent. #LeadershipLessons
PLCs are an on-going process that takes place in more than just weekly or monthly meetings. Collaboration should be going on daily as professionals. #education#ProfessionalLearningCommunities
What a great job by our students to beat our goal by 400+ items. We will see if Tide is up to the challenge of this mess tonight! #WeAreBlairOaks#FalconsServe https://t.co/G4TwBfpRJo
Today was the payoff for April's Foster Care Challenge! The goal was to collect 750 items (clothes, personal care items, shoes, etc.). BMS students brought in close to 1200 items, so they got to turn Mr. Jeffries into a human sundae. Way to go kids! #WeAreBlairOaks#FalconsServe
At top of @McShay13 final board - @saquon Barkley- who almost quit football frosh year of HS (wasn’t big or strong enough). That sure changed.. He’s a great inspirational role model for young players everywhere. Built himself, earned everything. @PennStateFball
A big thank you on Administrative Assistants Day to the first voices you hear & faces you see here @ BMS: Diana Hock & Kathy Verslues! They make sure the building is running smoothly each day. They are the best in the business! #WeAreBlairOaks#HappyAdministrativeAssistantsDay
Great start to our day with our Superintendent @JonesJim8 delivering encouraging words to our students about the upcoming MAP testing for BMS. 8th Graders kickoff our testing tomorrow morning. We know they will do us proud! #WeAreBlairOaks#MAP2018
@RickJetter A3: Student voice can bring new ideas to the forefront. One of my biggest phrases @Falcons_BMS this year has been the following: "No idea is a bad idea." Sometimes, it may need a little molding, but students have brought new things to the building. #LetStudentsSpeak#edchat
BMS Culver's Night has started. Come out until 9 PM tonight. BMS will receive 10% of all sales (dine-in & drive-thru). We even have a great flavor of the day with Bonfire Smores! #WeAreBlairOaks#FalconFundraiser#GreatFoodForGreatCause
Started our day with a Spirit Stick Run to celebrate Falcon Chorale's 1st Place performance at the Six Flags Music Festival this weekend. Great job students! Thank you to Director Sherry Francis for her leadership with this group. #WeAreBlairOaks#FineArtsFalcons
