Uplift and empower. Let’s tell our stories. Be loud. Be positive. @gcouros #timetoshine #brightertogether #wearenelson #thisisTUSD

[Shannon James @sjames_edu]

I’m not crying, you’re crying. Darn you @gcouros now we’re all crying. Challenge yourself to do something different. Human driven, not data driven. #timetoshine #brightertogether #wearenelson #thisisTUSD

[Shannon James @sjames_edu]

Don’t miss an opportunity to connect. Be a school teacher not a classroom teacher. They are all our kids. Every student. Every day. It’s our #timetoshine We are #brightertogether #ThisisTUSD #wearenelson @gcouros

[Shannon James @sjames_edu]

Yes! Hopes for @NelsonTigers It’s our #timetoshine We are #brightertogether #ThisisTUSD @gcouros
