Your team won’t remember you for your speeches, grand ideas or innovative strategies. They’ll remember you for your availability, humility, encouragement, for making them better. Influence is built by being intentional in the everyday moments.

Back to school with students today! Beginning year 12 in education - my how quickly time flies! #CultureWins

Dear Superintendents, Let teachers wear jeans any day they want. Khakis don’t make students respect us, how we treat them does. Don’t overthink it. Love, Dr. Tarver

Looking for the next great leader at IH!

Good luck to Ross Show Choirs as you head out today for your first show choir competition of the season! @HallieSings13 @legacy_ross @RossRams1 @RossMiddleRAMS

@EWRairport I appreciate the link - however the options while you’re at the gate are minimal and lack quality.

@SFinkbine Good morning. To see all available options, please see the provided link for Shops, Restaurants, Services & Amenities here at EWR [newarkairport.com/at-airport/sho…]. *JC

@EWRairport, can we do better on the food options at the gates?

For me, the subjects considered core were a chore, while the subjects considered extra were extraordinary. Education needs to stop trying to push multifaceted shapes through one-dimensional holes. That’s not how life works & it’s not how people work. There’s so much more to life.

@Ross_Local @OHSAASports @rossramstennis A first class human being!

🎾🏆 Big News! Our Ross High School Tennis Coach, Gerri Bolin, received OHSAA's Sportsmanship, Ethics & Integrity Award. Her dedication to the game and values is unmatched. Congrats, Coach Bolin! 🌟👏 #RossRams @OHSAASports @rossramstennis

@CrumblCookies ASAP!

@SFinkbine When do you want to see it back?

@CrumblCookies, how about we bring back the pink icing sugar cookie?

Music has no place on the periphery of education. No place at all. The place for music is at the heart of education. Music beats within us all. It’s a part of who we are. It helps us thrive and survive. When music is at the heart of education, young people are the real winners.

Sing, sing, sing. Sing by yourself. Sing with your family. Sing with your friends. Sing in a choir. Sing in the car. Sing in the shower. Don’t let anyone stop you from singing, or tell you that you shouldn’t sing. Your voice is yours. Use it. Enjoy it. Sing, sing, sing.

You weren’t made to be average.

No matter your circumstances or your attitude, you get to choose how you show up.

@SarahJKiefer @GiffordT You’re gonna be awesome, Kiefer!! Best of luck!

I needed to read this today. Maybe you do, too. New adventures … new challenges … drawing on my strength & prior knowledge. ❤️ Thanks @GiffordT !
