Students in Ms. O'Connor's government classes will not soon forget today's visit to @EMKInstitute. Among the many take-aways: Democracy is not a spectator sport!

I put this @tedlasso "Believe" poster up this morning and on their way out of class at the end of first block, I watched the students just instinctively reach up to hit it. Got me right in the feels. @jasonsudeikis @brettgoldstein @brendanhunting @hanwaddingham

Now is as good a time as any for my first tweet. I'm honored to share that I've been named the 2021 @Gilder_Lehrman Massachusetts Teacher of the Year. I'm filled with gratitude for the inspiration and support students and colleagues have offered me over the years. #HTOY

And of course I made a mistake in this first-ever tweet (that I swear I read a hundred times before posting). I omitted the most important word! Massachusetts *History Teacher of the Year!
