It's been a privilege to lead this amazing school for 3 years, and to be in Westport for the last 18. Thanks to all who have been my "daytime family" since 2001! Find me on my next adventure @principaldamico and @NFHighSchool #wreckerforever

Congrats to the Class of 2019! Staples students shine at 2019 graduation westport-news.com/news/article/S… via @wptnews

So proud of our first graduate from the #Classof2019! Jacob is heading off to begin his service with the @USArmy before heading to @WestVirginiaU to pursue his studies in music. Couldn’t be happier for this young man!

Be sure to watch @NBCNewYork tonight at 5 to see our great valedictorian and salutatorian, Sirina and Anissa! Great students and better people! #stapleslearns @StaplesLibrary @WestportSuper

My son and I had a breakfast conversation about the college bribing scandal. Bottom line: I love him too much to bribe someone because I want him to learn how to deal w/disappointment & don’t want to miss graduation because I’m in jail. #bribingscandal #college #Parents #Trending

Great advice for a long break!! Let Children Get Bored Again nyti.ms/2DOFbCH

"The bottom line is this, a defining question for any school or company is: What is the quality of the emotional relationships here?" A question we should ask ourselves every day. @YaleEmotion #stapleslearns Students Learn From People They Love nyti.ms/2RZetQ0

Fantastic presentation by Dr. Ruth Potee on teenage addiction tonight at Staples. Information that all teens and their parents need to understand and prevent addiction. @PosDirections @WPDCT @WestportSuper #stapleslearns

40% of kids who begin drinking at 15 will become alcoholics. Only 7% of those who begin at 21 will.

Is social and emotional learning a critical element in student success? Spoiler Alert: YES!!!! "The evidence is clear: Students thrive when we nurture not only their minds, but their hearts." @rulerapproach #stapleslearns ajc.com/blog/get-schoo…
