Swiftie ✨Spirit Day✨ idea for this school year’s @DartmouthMS annual winter Second Harvest Food Drive!! ❤️🥫✨ #TaylorSwift #usdlearns #SecondHarvest #ThankYouTaylor

@JohnsonP_LGUSD Almost time to welcome a new batch of eighth graders! So excited!

A walk back to class is a time to connect with friends.

@JohnsonP_LGUSD I LOVE seeing these on the wall!!!!! Precious! Maybe a summer activity for Bea?!

Our art teachers taught students to make something beautiful from their mistakes. #WeAreLGUSD

We have spirit, yes we do! Finished off a rad spirit week with my favorite day of the year: dodgeball!! May the odds be ever in your favor, kids! @JohnsonP_LGUSD

@mswilcox Such a fun group!!!!

Love our SS7 team! #matchymatchy #teamUMS #UMStwitterBingoV5

My first kids at Fisher are now seniors. Every student has so much to teach me. They move on to high school, and hearing about all they accomplish is the best part of this career. ♥️😭💫

They're always our little middle schoolers to us ♥️

I might not have hair, but I'll always have spirit! ♥️

@JohnsonP_LGUSD I heard a few 8th grade teachers even showed up! 🤓

What a great 6th grade social put on at Fisher Middle School -- even lighted dodgeball! The staff and parents really do a great job helping students to build strong connections with each other and the school! #weareLGUSD

@lisjorgens OMG. Heavy. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Dropped our sweet Bea off at Van Meter today! I cried the most out of the three of us! I love her so much it hurts ♥️

@JohnsonP_LGUSD Is this at Van Meter?

It may look like a big pile of dirt, but it's the beginning of our new outdoor learning spaces. I can't wait to see our students learning and growing in these innovative spaces.

The line between getting students to take shooter drills seriously and not scaring them with reality is so thin and shaky. I struggle with it every year. Hold your kids tight.

@in_quiring You are such a science. This makes me kind of want to barf. Sorry!

One of my favorites this year played the national anthem before his baseball game! Love seeing my kids thrive in and out of the classroom 🌟

Just so the world knows what #teachers do to show our love for students ♥️ We made it through BTSN with puffy eyes, on the verge on emotional breakdowns, and with pain in our hearts. We show up bc there’s one of us, and 140 kids to love. #teacherlife #cancer #oliverforever

@ephswimmer All our love and thanks to you @ephswimmer !

@LadyMercer85 Damn straight you did it! 10 cheers! (3 ain’t enough)

RIP to 2020 when I Zoomed between chemo sessions. Hey, we made it!
