@Val_Sommer So great!! #consistency #results

13.1 mi in the books! Ran a 1:55:57 and took 2nd in my age group. Thanks to all the well wishes and support from so many. You’ve helped more than you know! 🫶 #halfmarathon #MothersDay

@Val_Sommer Have fun today! Enjoy ... you got this!

Looks like perfect weather for this half tomorrow. 🙏🏃‍♀️

We celebrated our students and the #arts this evening at Cedar Hills Elementary School's Family Art Night 🥰 Thank you @SabrinaWeiland for your dedication to your students and #OCFSD! It was amazing!

@Val_Sommer You're up next! Kinda a last-minute decision to do 13.1 today! #yougotthis #strength

@BridgetKotarak Thank you! You’ve honestly been such an inspiration for me. You’re a warrior! If I could do a fraction of what you’ve done, I’ll be more than happy. 😊 I appreciate all the support and advice!

Heading to a wedding soon, and needless to say I might need help getting out of my seat. Happy Saturday all. #running

@Val_Sommer Take it one race and training plan at a time! 💪

@BridgetKotarak Thank you!! 🫶 I just need to stay positive when I think about the possibility of doing 26.2. 😩

@Val_Sommer How did it go? 😀 it sounds like your training is on pace!

Trying to mentally prepare for my 12 mile run tomorrow. Longest I’ve done yet, and we’ve got 40 mph wind gusts in the forecast. 😩

Beliefs are undefeated! "If we believe all students can learn at grade level, WE ARE RIGHT. If we don't believe all students can learn at grade level, WE ARE RIGHT." @PaulaMaeker Beliefs matter. Expectations have an impact. #rtiaw @SolutionTree #

Mastering the Rti at Work process is also about UNLEARNING some of our past practices in order to adopt new processes aligned to research and increased student learning. @lcruzconsulting @PaulaMaeker #rtiaw @SolutionTree #learning #leadership #rtiatwork

Helping all students learn at high levels (at grade level or higher) is not achieved through people and programs, but through putting in place proven practices and processes - @mikemattos65 #rtiaw @SolutionTree #rtiatwork
