Maslow before Bloom reminds us that every student—and every educator—needs safety, care, and connection before they can grow, learn, and shine. When we meet basic needs first, we unlock potential. When we support the hearts of our students and the well-being of our staff, excellence becomes possible for everyone. #maslowbeforebloom

UNREAL CATCH FROM DENZEL CLARKE 😱 PLAY OF THE YEAR 🔥 (via @MLB)

nypost.com/2024/12/03/spo…. Column: Enough is enough. Dodgers are already too good. MLB needs Soto and Sasaki signing elsewhere

Joe Girardi was a win away from going to World Series, and got fired. Aaron Boone’s Yankees collapse every season, and he keeps getting contract extensions. Makes sense.

So grateful to work with such great students, staff, & community stakeholders @GhentSchoolVA!

We’re grateful for partners like Mr. Crawford of @NPSchools_VA, who made some custom cabinets for our classrooms to help meet a need, & also for our 4th grade field trip to the @ODUWBB’s game recently! #IgniteAndInspire #READy2WRITE

We’re grateful for staff & students alike who know “ways to make sunshine” as they did this past Friday when they took pics together & had ice cream to finish the @all_district_reads program! #READy2WRITE #IgniteAndInspire @npschools_va

Love #ChoiceBoards but don't have enough time to make one? 😖 Help your students gain new confidence in their choice-making skills with a “𝗪𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿?” strategy instead! 👇🏻 #EdChat #UKEdChat #AussieEd #EdChatEU #EduTwitter

@PrincipalKafele Quite significant! Glad you went. My grandfather is buried in the same cemetary, & I grew up around the corner from there as a child. Glad you invested in back home!

Since I'm in Rochester NY, thought I'd visit the gravesite of the great Frederick Douglass.

I'm significantly proud of these rising 9th grade @SouthsideSTEM students, & really greatful to @SVTrobotics for the internship opportunity for them this summer! #CardinalsRISE #RISEwithREDasWeGoGreen #NoMatterWhat @NPSchools_VA @Lenthia4

Wowza! thanks for the recognition @VDOE_News @JPfistner @vecvirginia23 @NPSchools_VA Great way to start my adventure into retirement @AGC_of_Virginia @egoodman1215 !!!

@EdSherri @Lenthia4 @SSTEMAcademyMSC Thanks, Mrs. Warren, AP! It was a joy to work with you as well!

I'm very grateful for the last 4 yrs at @SouthsideSTEM! I learned a ton & am grateful for the opportunity to be an administrator there! The staff truly love a brilliant group of scholars! #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork was evident! Continue to #RISEwithREDasWeGoGreen! On to Ghent!

We’re so excited to have our scholars join us for the start of the 2023-2024 school year! #ReadyDay1 #NoMatterWhat #IgniteandInspire @NPSchools_VA @brkimzey @DrDoreatha

@purposepushers @Lenthia4 is great at this!

The Superman/Wonderwoman approach to leadership ultimately creates an exalted, burnt out, and unhealthy leader. For your own health and the health of the school as a whole, commit to building a highly effective team of leaders. 💯
