We are seeking out areas of the school which “bug” us. Next, we will ideate solutions, prototype our ideas, test them, & come up w/a better UX. This list is so insightful, as we discussed issues as a kindergarten class! @WolfpackCSI @campbellusd #bugproject

[Kami Thordarson @kamithor]

@loretta_toy So happy you are there! Enjoy, enjoy,enjoy!

MSEL-Middle School Esports League off to a great start!

[Campbell School of Innovation @WolfpackCSI]

We just wrapped up our first experience with Esports! Our sixth grade team learned so much about gaming and about teamwork through our first major! We are excited about next year and building our competitive gaming skills! #wolfpackstrong

This school makes me so happy!

[Campbell School of Innovation @WolfpackCSI]

First grade, cohort A students online to their cohort B partners in class when asked how are you today? "We are great! We are so happy for our seatmates. We are excited that they are in school today!" Empathy rules. #wolfpackstrong

[Kami Thordarson @kamithor]

So true!

[David Culberhouse @DCulberhouse]

You can't manufacture community, it is created through value…
When people feel valued for who they are, what they do, and how they add.

[Kami Thordarson @kamithor]

@SandyTolbert9 @Hersheys @CampbellCSI Those are on my “to do” list today! Happy start to a holiday week!

In your next staff meeting, try turning your "Yeah, but..." into "Yes, and..." or "What if..." Refuse to accept the status quo.

We are in the middle of transformation. What is our story of during? https://t.co/LTHJTOaPnx

When I see this headline, I think of all the young children stuck at home. We have prioritized casinos over schools and recreational gambling over learning. This is criminal, negligent and abhorrent. If you can gamble outside, you can learn outside.

[Kami Thordarson @kamithor]

@MistyKluesner So very sorry! Thinking about you often, stay safe my friend.

[Kami Thordarson @kamithor]

@SandyTolbert9 @campbellusd @CampbellCSI These are my people and I appreciate them every day! We work hard, we laugh a lot, and we dream big together. #csiwolfpack
