I just took action with NASSP and sent messages to my representative and senators asking them to protect schools as safe places of learning for all students. Please join me and send a message to your members of Congress today! #PrincipalsAdvocate https://t.co/qZLhRKljLO

Kent’s a hall of famer I agree, but not having Lou Whitaker in there is disappointing and disrespectful to the game

Words matter.

Just like toothpaste, once they’re out, you can’t put them back in the tube. The way we speak and treat others leaves a lasting impact. Whether it’s with kindness, empathy, and understanding, or with negativity that diminishes dignity.

If we slip up and the “toothpaste” is out, it takes time and effort to repair the harm. But it can be repaired.

Let’s choose words that build people up, not break them down. Every interaction is a chance to show care, respect, and humanity.

My goodness. Portage Public Schools you were incredible!!!! The band was unbelievable. The new Superintendent walks out 2 educators from when he was a kid to show the impact. The staff in the room was totally locked in…phenomenal. THANK YOU for the trust!! I had a blast!!!

[Joe Sanfelippo @Joe_Sanfelippo]

The most important thing to get ready in your room…IS YOU! Kids are going to walk in and see their name and know if they are supposed to be in that room. Then they’ll look at you…and know if THEY BELONG. Just got to take care of each other. #LeadFromWhereYouAre #1minwalk2work

Culture is more than a buzzword.
It’s how we see our kids.

When culture is right, everything else gets better.

Although Congress has already funded K-12 education for the 2025-26 school year, the Trump administration is withholding $6.88 billion from K-12 schools. @RepHuizenga @SenatorSlotkin @SenGaryPeters, this is unacceptable. Please help our students and educators #PrincipalsAdvocate
