I’d like to thank my colleagues who offered me well-wishes, as my appointment as the Superintendent of Schools for the East Ramapo Central School District was approved on Tuesday evening 4/13/21. I start the new role on 7/1/21. My 35 years of service to the NYCDOE was amazing!
Today, I celebrate 47 years of life and the pursuit of excellence. Thank you to everyone who has poured encouragement and support into my life. 🎂🎂🎂#birthdayman
I want to thank everyone for such an outpouring of support for the loss of my mother, Bertina Ellis, to the coronavirus. She battled with all she had, but finally succumbed on April 8th. She was 97 years-old. The first photo is my mom with me as a baby, them mom recently.
Shout out to @PS84josedediego whose principal shared two welcome back messages for students made by their educators. It made me want to hug them all! You want to see CRSE? This is the place! #D14Proud@SuptWinnickiD14@ExecSuptKWatts
@IS318BK Awesome! How an awful illness can bring out such innovation and dedication. District 14 never ceases to amaze. We inspire and are inspired everyday. We celebrate all the amazing educators who continue to rise to the call. #D14Strong@SuptWinnickiD14@ExecSuptKWatts#BklynNorth
@DonyallD is in the house and I’m nose deep in a grant. So bummed I can’t participate today but I’m going to marinate in the brilliance you shared on your last visit. Until next time sharing the ❤️ Dr. D 2 Dr. D!
27 years ago, this guy promised me a life full of adventure. I’d say he’s delivered. Here’s to our next chapter of becoming empty nesters and discovering what’s next—while still feeling the magic that brought us together all those years ago. Happy anniversary, Barack.
@Det_Ramosfndn The Det.Ramos Foundation spread joy & backpacks at their 5th annual backpack giveaway. From the tragedy of losing Det.Ramos and Det. Liu came a legacy of service. NYPD comes out & helps @Det_Ramosfndn put on a great day for PS 59 & 297! #blueangels@ExecSuptKWatts
The first day of school got off with a bang at PS 59K! With the help of Councilman Cornegy, Brenda Canty, Spider-Man and Black Panther! There’s no party like a learning party cause a learning party’s nonstop! #BackToSchoolNYC#FDOC#bknorthstrong@ExecSuptKWatts@SuptWinnickiD14
The journey from Africa was paid in loss. Like shards of glass, we cleaved to remnants of culture. The loss and cleaving at times, painful equally. The Griot, a remnant kept. Teller of stories, keeper of culture. A great icon gone, a legacy of golden treasures left. Rest in Love.
Freedom Riders Day 1: On day 1 we were off to DC! We started off our trip by volunteering at the Kelly Miller Youth Garden. We had the opportunity to make collard green salad wraps by using freshly picked vegetables… instagram.com/p/Bz8pSZ3BxbQ/…
Enjoyed meeting these school leaders today! With their energy and vibrant leadership, it’s no wonder that they are amongst the SED Recognition Schools! Congratulations! So happy to celebrate your success! @DOEChancellor
