Yes!! Every. Single. Time. ❤️

Being in education means you sometimes leave the building with a heavy heart and mind. But if the alternative is to be numb to the struggles of the kids and adults in your care - I’ll take the heavy. Every single time. Grounded in purpose, relentless in hope.

Prioritize some time the rest of the week to #CheckOn… ⬇️
Make sure they are all well & okay- b/c we all go through things that are really heavy. We all struggle, which is not a sign of weakness but rather it’s a sign of being #HUMAN🙌🏽✨#BeKind #SisterSupeRollCall #HowAreYou❓

All great leaders are optimists. To inspire requires an undying belief that the future is bright.

We don't "give" students a voice. They already have a voice - and thoughts, ideas, solutions, passions, etc.
We want to AMPLIFY their voice, ELEVATE their voice. We can help them find their own outlets and platforms to share if they choose.
Pass. Them. The. Mic.

Some students go an entire day at school without anyone saying their name.
Be the adult who speaks to each student by name.
Everyone loves to hear their name.

Tomorrow I get to have my first in-person staff meeting with all 50 teachers and staff for the first time since March 2020 and I am so excited 🎉. Can’t wait to see all these seats full of excited educators ready to welcome our students back full time for the 2021-22 school year!

There is no amount of “perfect” that can make us more worthy of love and belonging. Let’s not waste our energy chasing perfect. Let’s be more human.
That’s what our schools need anyway. People standing in their imperfect humanity while centering the humanity of others.
