You could just feel it in the room. This team, we are ready and committed! @EarlRudderMS 23-24 school year, here we come! #RangersLead

From how to be a successful classmate to the importance of setting goals. From Growth Mindset to learning how to track our reading. From daily affirmations to birthday celebrations. It's been a fun start to the year in our ELA classes. @EarlRudderMS #RangersLead #ela

Excited to get the school yr started with my 3 babies. Taft Senior (Highstepper Colonel💃), Health Careers HS Freshman (JV Tennis Team🎾) and Jefferson MS 7th grader (Honor Band 🎶) and the traditional bkfst meal for the week to feed the fam 😋 (with cascarones for Easter) 😉

Biased but...this is the BEST Convocation in my 10yrs at NISD #proudmomma #proudemployee #NISDIgnited @THSHighsteppers

Teacher Appreciation Dinner by Faith Church. An amazing meal, uplifting words, prayers for our students/school year and goodie baskets from our wish lists. WHAT A BLESSING! @EarlRudderMS

Retreat Day, vacation themed. Excited to see everyone and get the year started on a fun note and much valuable information @EarlRudderMS #RangersLead #ela

3 days of eNgagement Academy, 3 door prizes 😊 7 amazing sessions for refreshingly new takes on reading, writing, grammar, inquiry, inclusive practices, choices, fun energizers and so much more! And looking fwd to more resources coming our way 😃 @EarlRudderMS #RangersLead #ela

Not exactly rest and recharge but definitely a fun filled weekend with this amazing organization as we learn and grow in the Type 1 Diabetic world with our Sugar Baby (center) #T1DLife #wefighttogether

Brunch with the team. Getting the year started on a yummy note 😋 @EarlRudderMS #ela #RangersLead

Got my summer fix to fulfill my rest and recharge goals, including an awesome hike up Old Baldy with the family. #summervibes #riverlife 😉

I could mope about no vacations, or make the best of every day. I choose the latter... morning walk, 5hrs at the pool and tennis with the one who keeps me active. #summervibes #rest #recharge #waterdays 💦🏊‍♀️ Bonus: quick updates with my ELA team 😊

When you're married to an Elvis fan... #summerhighlight #ElvisMovie #movienight
