@Optimus_Rime You and Dave were a DreamTeam. Your efforts to nurture a school culture dedicated to the needs of middle school kids was inspiring to many. Effective leadership!

In 2001, I was part of the leadership to open CMS. The district protocol was that VPs did not have their names included on commemorative plaques for schools. When the plaque arrived, Dave Bawtinheimer who was the principal sent the plaque back and told them to add my name. 1/2

@MichaelIannini PeerSphere looks like a great opportunity to connect, collaborate, and achieve positive outcomes. I'll keep an eye on this!

Who does this? Budget/Avis in the Little Rock airport. Apparently they only take the reservation. Honouring it appears to be optional…

@pmacoun And hey... are Shannon Kerry and Bobby Hart at your school now? If so, be sure to get them on stage at the staff talent show. Unbeatable!

@robgrantham @sfueducation Congrats. That is where I launched too in 1998. Loved the PDP program.

After 30+ years gearing up for a new year among kids and colleagues in a school, Sept '22 has been an exciting new opportunity. So appreciative to return to the PDP at SFU, where I launched in '91, with amazing mentors supporting new aspiring teachers #SFUEducation @sfueducation

@pmacoun @sfueducation Cheers Phil. Hope you and yours are well.

@HinaTHashmi @sfueducation Thanks Hina. Its really a blast; I'm lovin' it. And to boot... a 4-month summer!😀

@robgrantham @sfueducation They're so lucky to have you! Good luck x

A bit overdue, but never too late to say a huge thanks to the students, staff and parents of DeBeck Elementary. I will miss this warm and welcoming school community! All best to everyone for a fun summer to rest, recharge and enjoy this beautiful corner of the world. Go Dragons!

The new DeBeck playground is finally open, and it was well worth the wait! Such a great addition, and an invaluable place for physical development, social learning and FUN!! Well done everyone who made it happen! @debeckdragons @RichmondSD38

Kids harvesting spring potatoes grown in big pots @debeckdragons; so much accomplishment, excitement and a palpable sense of wonder. An absolute joy to witness! @RichmondSD38

So great to have live music performances coming back to DeBeck Elementary! Parents and students have enjoyed an excellent series of outdoor lunchtime concerts by our band students. The schoolyard is alive, with the sound of music!😆 @debeckdragons @RichmondSD38

Congratulations to our young DeBeck students who were recognised by the City of Richmond for their participation in a contest related to electric vehicles. Learning for sustainability and healthy communities! @debeckdragons @RichmondSD38

Huge thanks to our PAC and many parent volunteers, for coming out on Saturday to help with our new playground community build. Amazing support and contribution. It's nearly done... and the kids can't wait to get onto the new structure! @RichmondSD38 @debeckdragons

Thank you to our connection crew for decorating our courtyard windows with messages of Kindness! @kforce77 @sd38learn

To develop new school-wide language aligning with our values, we asked our community what it would look like, feel like & sound like if we could make DeBeck the greatest school. Staff dug into the feedback, and what did we learn? Kindness connects us. @RichmondSD38 @debeckdragons

The gardens of DeBeck Elementary are once again coming alive. Always fun to see kids working together in a garden,.. preparing the soil, planting, tending, watering, weeding, and celebrating their efforts! @debeckdragons @RichmondSD38

@HinaTHashmi A break well earned, HH. Enjoy!

Day 130. Finally made it to the Eid holidays after 9 weeks of teaching. Now to spend quality time with family and friends eating good food and drinking wine in the sunshine! Never needed a break as much as this one before. #VPbyday #iyibayramlar #EidMubarak #holidays

@HinaTHashmi @RichmondSD38 @debeckdragons Hey Hina! Enjoying the VP role currently, as a great re-entry to life in BC schools. Will see what happens in Sept! Cheers and I hope you are well.

@robgrantham @RichmondSD38 @debeckdragons Great news Rob! Teaching or admin?

Happy to have joined the team in @RichmondSD38 at Howard DeBeck Elementary School. Friendly, curious students, a dedicated staff and a welcoming community vibe. Greatest sandbox ever! @debeckdragons

@thierck Well earned Tom! Congrats, and I look forward to the next minute musing.

Thanks to family, friends, and colleagues who are why this recognition has come my way. To be recognized by Global Gurus as the #10 most influential thought leader in education is because of those who contribute so much. With gratitude... globalgurus.org/education-guru…
