Track & field is one of the last places in a school where the football captain, the valedictorian, the band kid, the wrestler, and the quiet kid who never thought he belonged can all wear the same jersey.
Track does not care what a kid’s last name is, how much money he has, what side of town he lives on, or how popular he is. Out here, none of that matters. Somewhere between the workouts, the bus rides, and the meets, kids who might never have spoken to each other start to build real respect.
It is hard not to respect somebody when you have seen what they are willing to push through and how much they are willing to give.
That is a big reason track & field will always mean more to me than just times, marks, and points.
NFL owners and GM’s often stress about making the right decision on a draft pick or a trade….trying being a school district superintendent and making the right decision about whether or not to have Snow Day😀
I always come away with a clearer vision for myself and the Darby School District after attending a @MTEDLeadership conference. Looking forward to #samai2024
Great local professional development today on the Bitterroot River with two of the best Superintendents. Grateful for the extra CEU’s as we discussed budget, educational initiatives and valley collaboration😉
Just another way to promote the Darby School District! Every boat access within our school district boundaries with have a Flybrary sign letting people know that they are in TIGER COUNTRY. #TheTigerWay
Donuts with Grown Ups was a great success. It was fantastic inviting in all the Grown Ups to observe and participate in some of the great things happening in DSD9! The only thing I would change would be to include more maple donuts 🍩😀
