Yesterday's PNW BOCES admin retreat was exceptional! The Tilly Foster venue, inspiring speakers, and--especially--being able to gather together, made for an exciting start to what we know will be another stellar year!

@LeahRemini @NYUSPS @nyuniversity Congratulations! You may be in a position of privilege to have gotten there, but only YOU earned that degree. YOU. Don’t forget that! 👏 💪

Three years ago, I embarked on a terrifying journey: becoming a college student at the age of 50 after only having an 8th-grade education and spending 35 years in a totalitarian cult. After three years of hard work, long nights, tears, and wanting to give up so many times, I have earned an associate's degree from NYU. I'm now working on my bachelor's degree. I desperately wanted a higher education for many years but didn't move forward because I feared I was not smart enough. Even though I had managed to leave Scientology, three decades of brainwashing still gripped my mind. I feel so grateful to have gotten the support I needed from my family and friends, including my mom, my step-father George, my sisters Nicole and Shannon, my husband Angelo, and most of all, my little nugget, my daughter Sofia. So many of you have gotten me through the most challenging times. I have read many of your comments and drawn inspiration from them. I couldn't have done this without the support of my therapist, who provided the support and tools that prevented me from giving up early on. Thank you to the professors and staff at NYU and my amazing tutor. I know I am in a position of privilege that has offered me the flexibility to do this. But over the past three years, I've heard from thousands of people, especially women, who have decided to take the leap at an older age and get their GED or pursue a college education. Whether a cult used to control your life, you have a full-time job as a stay-at-home parent, or full-time job(s) outside of the home, it's never too late to continue your education and pursue what you have always wanted to achieve for yourself!

@wmslifeskills Bears brew! That’s fantastic!!! 💚💚💚

@pnwboces Admin Council is always a treat- learning together with wonderful snacks to refuel and great conversation. It’s always about the teamwork and we can do that attitude! 💙💛 The @Google model and research of teamwork is fascinating!

5th and 6th graders are learning about focal point in art. (I learned some things too!) Such an incredible lesson. Jesse and Deb are amazing as are our kiddos! @pnwboces #arteducation #specialeducation

@LynnAllenEdD @pnwboces @DrAnchalaSobrin Our Admin Council meetings are always a bright spot! 👏🌞

An uplifting admin council meeting @pnwboces sharing bright spots and learning from @PrincipalWhite7 about our Walden Program and @DrAnchalaSobrin about cultivating a collaborative culture! Special thanks to Disney for always bringing us a good dose of comfort, too!

@attachtrauma conference has taught me so much. I’m excited to develop a regulation room at Walden @pnwboces and lead with a brain based center. The neuroscience to trauma has opened my mind and heart even more. Check out these resources if you’re interested. ❤️
