So very #thankful for incredible organizations like @vakidsbelong! We highly recommend this organization if you want to #SupportFosterCare! For our family, the timing is perfect as we are welcoming another sweet child into our home. We can't wait to see his face! #ittakesavillage
Good teaching is not accidental. It results from planning well and connecting w/ students. Both of these are intentional. Good teaching takes energy, passion, & perseverance. I’m grateful for all the teachers who are putting in the work... and I hope they have a good weekend.
Every time we walk into the school, we have the opportunity to be a bright spot in a student’s day. There’s a lot that we can’t control and there are days that we may feel inadequate… but we can always be the reason that a kid smiles.
It’s not easy being an effective teacher. When administrators spend time walking their school and hanging out in classrooms… they pick up on that fact quickly.
"Every time you think of calling a kid 'attention-seeking' this year, consider changing it to 'connection-seeking' and see how your perspective changes." Powerful thought from @JodyCarrington
There will be circumstances this year that are out of your control. But this year, you will have the potential to impact a child’s life. And you can always control what you do with that potential.
Educators: The first day of school is an amazing opportunity. What can you do on Day 1 that has your kids running back to you on Day 2? We can’t forget: “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” Make the first day count! #FutureReady
I remember @Stephharvey49 telling me that if I reflected on the way I taught 5 years ago and wasn’t embarrassed, then I wasn’t growing as a teacher. We can always get better for kids!
Proud of all the #edmsravens track team members for their win! Super proud of this smiling beauty! She fell hard. Got up. Finished the race. Without placing last. Uncle Toops would be proud. #perseverance @jskistner @kistnerlm @EDMS_Principal @Mr_King_EDMS @hollyschwarz
I feel so blessed to be a part of such an incredible school community! Our bus drivers loved the treats from Elizabeth Scott PTA, Sweet Frog, & The Winn Family (Sweet Virginia Treats)!! Great way to say thank you for all of their hard work on Monday and every day! @ScottScorpions
