My goal today… to hold it together. Then Val meets me in the parking lot at 7:15 with this. 🫶🏽❤️🫶🏽 Bittersweet in the best way. I’m excited for what’s ahead and grateful for the people who made this chapter what it is.

To the people who make it and have made it possible for me to do the job, I’m forever grateful! Thank you for trusting the process and the vision! 🫶🏽 y’all much and soooooooo proud of each of you!! #APAppreciationWeek

Had to pull up this morning to see Percussion bring home the gold. Claiming it now because they did their thing. Precision. Power. Presence. Absolutely AMAZING performance. 🥇🔥 #RangerPride

Look who I ran into at the LCISD Book Fair- Mrs. Danziger🫶🏽 and our library coordinator, Mrs. Falcon! 📚 Great community event. Love seeing our families and students out celebrating reading together. #RangerNation #WeAreLCISD

#STAAR #Blitz It’s that time of the year. Testing season is about to begin…but that doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun. We took our #review back to elementary #vibes. A little #hopscotch, #leapfrog, & much more! Students were smiling. Learning was happening!

#STAAR is #tomorrow, so today we had some fun reviewing. 20 questions, race to the teacher, & challenges along the way. Today was amazing! I also learned that this #generation doesn’t understand how to #leapfrog over one another, but that’s a problem for another time 😅😅

Very intentional. Very impactful. 🦞✨ From start to finish, my students were fully engaged in today’s lesson. Huge thank you to Joel and Bayou Boys Catering for elevating our seafood lab!

Shine Bright, Ladies! Congratulations! 🫶🏽

More from the district tournament.

StuCo Leadership Conference in San Antonio 🫶🏽 A weekend focused on growing our students as leaders, pushing their thinking, & sharpening their voice. They showed up ready to learn & lead. Ending by breaking bread together was the perfect close. Ranger Nation is in good hands!

When folks think I’m stressed, hot tamales show up. 😂 When they think I’m really stressed, Girl Scout cookies get added to the mix. 😂 I’m not sure what level we’re at… but I’m well fed and all is well! 😄 #RangerNation

Another Great Day on the course. Gearing up for the district tournament next week.

Wrapping up March with a grateful heart. A little bit of theatre, soccer, tennis, and percussion! 🫶🏽
