I can tell if a school has effective admin within minutes of walking into the school. I watch the office staff, custodians & faculty interact in the hall, their demeanor & interactions w/other staff & students. It's true everyone impacts culture, but Leadership is the thermostat!
Schools must work to create environments where kids can embrace their true selves & to chase their own goals to positively impact society. Their path is not our choice. We must expose them to the many options at their disposal and allow them to make their own choices.

Every child. Every chance. Every day.
Leadership is hard. Nobody said it would be easy.
🔺When people talk about you, keep leading.
🔹When people compliment you, keep leading.
🔺When your hard work goes unnoticed, keep leading.
Why? Because we are in the kid business. Kids are the reason schools exist. It isn’t about you or me. It’s about kids. When things are good, bad or ugly, keep leading.
When we keep showing up to lead, that’s when success will follow. That’s when kids’ pathways will be redirected. And that is when we know we are changing the world.
KEEP. LEADING.

Replacing Halcyon Elementary School with the word we and our- essential work requires educators and building leaders to stay focused on the work at hand and remembering that we are doing what is BEST for students the “Halcyon Elementary School” way! @SuptMJBrown
We will always encounter those who will not allow us space to fulfill our purpose. Our job is not to exhaust ourselves by trying to please them. We must follow our hearts & be guided by our own sense of right. We must be pleasing to ourselves before we can be pleasing to others.
