@briskteaching I want to go see Taylor because I’m a major swiftie, just unlucky with the Ticketmaster drawings. I took my daughters to soldier field in hopes to get in, and we did not. I felt like I failed as a mom as I watched one of my daughters sobbing on the grass. My classroom is TS theme

🎤☕️ Our 7th graders transformed the stage into a Beatnik Coffee House today! They shared poetry, music, and art in true 1950s style. Snapshots of a day filled with creativity and expression! ⁦@CenturyWildcats⁩

We clapped out our amazing 8th graders as they headed off to Great America for their end-of-year trip. Their smiles and excitement were contagious! Here's to a day filled with fun, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Go, 8th graders! @CenturyWildcats https://t.co/BCzDCa0PiP
