Our Groundbreaking Ceremony today marked yet another benchmark towards the construction of the New Neal Academy! The amazing $40 million dollar gift from @abbvie was almost eclipsed by my awesome student leaders! #grateful #nextisnow #newneal #nmsalove

“Students don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” (John Maxwell) @John10369001 & Mrs. Brown are two of the most caring educators I know. Thanks @nccusd for recognizing their efforts along with all of the nominees. #nmsalove

Our Arts Showcase is proof students can produce powerful work even during a pandemic. Music, murals, awards, and more! Did I mention our students also live streamed the entire event for parents and peers learning remotely? Don’t tell me what kids can’t do! #EaglePride #nmsalove

When we say by any means necessary at NMSA we REALLY mean by any means necessary!! When you do what you love you don’t mind doing whatever it takes. I’m in love. I hope you are too! #safetyfirst #firedrillphoto #principal #crossingguard #trafficcop #nmsalove

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas—I mean CONSTRUCTION—Everywhere you go! (Wrong word sung to the same tune.) ...But the prettiest sight to see is the New Neal that will be at your own front door! (Sorry. That holiday tune is stuck in my head.) #newneal #nmsalove

NMSA distributed supplemental school supplies EVERY quarter throughout this pandemic — supplies typically made available while at school like anchor text, lab materials, and exercise equipment. Round 4 distribution is underway today! So proud to serve with my team! #nmsalove

Clear the red carpet, cue the search lights, and call the paparazzi! Today is the debut of our NMSA News show that is TOTALLY student produced. This first episode is amazing! (Kudos to the Creators Club & Ms. Owca.) Ready or not, here we come. #studentleaders #nmsalove

[Wayne Williams @wayneatschool]

Wow! Thanks to my amazing Student Support Team & a Paraprofessional for this amazing gift. (They know I love a good quote!) I will treasure these well-crafted & wise words shared with me by very witty & wonderful women. I’m humbled. #justbecause #youthpoetlaureate #nmsalove

Today we celebrated the efforts of our 8th graders while simultaneously engaging them in a progress check. This school year is not over, yet the end is in view. So we paused to note what we need to start, stop, or continue to be ready for promotion. #justdoit #nmsalove

This @nccusd teacher goes above and beyond. Besides the challenging work of remote teaching, Ms. Datta raised awareness among neighbors about food insecurity in NC and how to help. She dropped off 800+ items that will go to families in our Essential Care Program.

DAY 1: Ok...⁦@John10369001⁩! I accept your “Day in the Life of an Educator”seven day challenge and I invite ⁦@msmarquez187⁩ to join the party. Speaking of party...who knew breakdancing would be in my job description??!! #Olympics2024 #nmsalove #d187together

[Wayne Williams @wayneatschool]

I firmly believe that schools should be beacons in the community. NMSA Administrators embodied this belief while supporting families in crisis all night and throughout today with minimal sleep and no complaints. Keep smiling, keep shining, knowing you can always count on us!

[Wayne Williams @wayneatschool]

This is such a good read! Thanks ⁦@Ready4rigor⁩ for the recommendation and ⁦@poshsox⁩ for the gift. It’s just what I need personally and professionally. I highly recommend it other leaders trying to make it happen no matter what. #switch #yeswecan #lookoutworld

[Wayne Williams @wayneatschool]

I paused to proudly exercise my rights and civic duty today! Now back to the regularly scheduled program of public school administration and helping prepare our next generation of scholars and good citizens. Go vote! #EarlyVoting #civicseducation #nmsalove #d187together

[Wayne Williams @wayneatschool]

These are more than mere words in our windows. We really miss physically seeing our students! It was great being with some of them last week when we offered safe, in-person support sessions while Remote Learning continues. #fullserviceshop #SafetyFirst #nmsalove #d187together

[Wayne Williams @wayneatschool]

Forgive me for gushing but I just can’t help myself. Our first day of Remote Learning was amazing! Most students had a dedicated distraction free work space at home and teachers were on their game. (Yes...that teacher did a live lesson from a cave he built!) #StrongerThanEver
