@FSabens ROCKSTAR 🤩🤩

Sharing your data is not just ethical, it’s paramount for advocacy efforts & professional reflection. #scchat #schoolcounseling How do you showcase your program results?

Got to go back to @AversboroElem today and give a graduation speech to the 5th graders! As usual, I told some jokes… and as usual, no one laughed 😅🤪 But seeing those kids again filled my heart. So proud of them! #Owl4Life

@tamaragray04 @ZebulonMagnetES Super cool! What a neat way to celebrate students!

This year @ZebulonMagnetES the PBIS committee introduced school-wide Student of the Month initiative. We had 202 students nominated this year. McDonald’s gladly sponsored 20 students with a free kids meal gift certificate to celebrate their achievement.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month! 🧠🎙️ Last year, I joined the @weareasca podcast with Shakira to talk about the mental health needs of our students and how we supported them. It was such a fun conversation! Check it out 👇 link in comments!

@uncwbb @WellsFargo I can’t understand why Lexi, Indya, and Makdeng were taken out of the game with 4 mins left for some reserves who hadn’t played the whole 2nd half! I don’t get it 🤷🏾‍♂️

@tamaragray04 Aw no way! Such a small world! She was truly such a special and gifted teacher! I loved her class and there was never a dull moment in there lol! Being an impactful educator must run in the family!

@DobbinJr You are welcome! I believe my aunt, Ms. Beverly Roddick, was your math teacher back in the day. 😎 I get excited meeting “home” folks. Continue to make an impact in our school and profession Orlando.

@tamaragray04 @BritNorman_ @NCSCA 🥲🥲🥲 thanks for joining! And for such kind feedback!

When your friend is also your life coach, counselor, and biggest cheerleader - we give thanks!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾 So thankful for you @BritNorman_ !!! I always gotta keep a notebook nearby when we talk to make sure I don’t forget the gems you give!

@_andrewcarter Your as line was sublime. "all around was endless decimation, debris piles and reminders that a lot of things would be different. Yet Helene reinforced that some things never change. That the spirit of a place and its people can outlast even the worst of storms. 🥲

Spent some time recently in the North Carolina mountains and quickly realized it was impossible to do justice to what I saw in some places, and felt throughout the entire region. But I tried. On what Helene left behind: newsobserver.com/news/state/nor…

@_andrewcarter your piece was amazing. I cried through most of it. The way you weaved together both the pain and suffering with the resilience and hope you found in the mountains brought to life in some small way the experiences of folks in WNC. Thank you

Come work with us! :) Lmk if you’re interested!

A quick trip to my old stomping grounds @AversboroElem and seeing my former students’ smiling faces and receiving their high fives and fist bumps and being asked one last time “Where is your hair” 😅😂 was just what the doc ordered to fill my heart with so much love and joy! ❤️

@KimberlySGrant @NCresiliencectr @PCS_NC 🥹🥹🥹🥹 thanks Kim! Gonna miss seeing your smiling face every week! I hope you’re doing well! 🤗🤗

@NCresiliencectr @PCS_NC @DobbinJr I see you Orlando 👀 Pitt County is lucky to have you. Best wishes!

#NCED Today we had our first training at Pactolus Elementary in Pitt county! Excited to work together this year. @PCS_NC #traumainformed @DobbinJr
