#TheRangerWay Glad you got to join us!

The phrase “behavior problem” drives me crazy. There is no such thing as a behavior problem child in school. Behaviors are not the problem they are always solutions kids pick to their problems. Focus on the underlying cause for real results. #thatonekid

Tough times linger! The true testimony of life provides growth. Look for the silver lining in all that you do! #GodsGrace

Sound up! @NMS_JHassell doing his thing at Northwest Middle’s 6th grade orientation. Nervousness met with enthusiasm! That’s the Ranger Way. Let’s Gooooo!!!! @bost_joann @NMS_Rangers @KnoxCountyPBIS

Love is the ultimate driver of grit and excellence: 1. If you love it, you’ll work hard to become great at it. 2. If you love what do you you won’t give up when the world says you should. 3. If you love your team you won’t quit on them. 4. Love casts out fear and fuels you.

Summertime blessing! Running in to a former alternative student from many years past that you don’t recognize, yet they stop you and thank you for what you meant to them. Funny thing is, they will never know what they meant to me! He’s now a plumber and doing great! That-a-boy!

Getting ready for PBIS reward “Silent Disco”. Not sure I have the words for this caption. #soundcheck. @HarrisonLab @KnoxCountyPBIS @bost_joann @WatsonKCS

@eddiemccandless Announcer said “they’re stuck in the mud”. No sir, just typical Tennessee football.

When the A-Game is required, McNulty rises to the occasion. These kids are doomed!

You’re VIP! No invite needed. There will definitely be a next time.

Good thing the rangers have an excellent student support team. Come Monday someone’s going to need some serious restorative conferencing!

Plot notes and Disney shorts to practice plot makes for a good day!

The awesome behavior team at Northwest Middle School because daily we connect with #thatonekid

I’m all in!

Celebrating my finest blessing today as he turns the big 10. Even though the quarantines placed some differences in our lives, there was great joy watching him and his friends navigate through a “zoom” virtual birthday party.
