Making the move to Instagram to share my educational journey as the new principal at Barnard Elementary. Please follow me at MrsBushTSD so we can stay connected!!!

I will take the impact the Troy Union community had on my life in everything I do. Thank you to all who played an important role in shaping me into who I am today. I am forever changed and forever grateful. 💕

Districts tomorrow (June 3rd) at Avondale HS. First game starts at 12PM against Bloomfield Hills. Come out and support your OAA White Division Champions! #seniorled

Looking to take two from our neighbors today at their place. It’s a beautiful day to come out and watch our rivalry games.

@spalmer_mrs Love every single part of this!!!

Despite our Ace being out, Seaholm goes undefeated to win the Athens Showdown. Senior @abby_pinch_14 wins 2 while freshman Adele Bush picks up her first win in her first start. @lolaweberr goes yard while @abby_pinch_14, @Emmaweber07, Voigt and Hill each have multiple hit games.

Hey TU, use your day off tomorrow to look for books for our Book Swap coming up soon! Also if you are able to donate a NEW book for @FofFK , Friendsoffostercare.org we would love it! @TroyUnion

@MissEdwardsK Love seeing them lean in close to share and admire each others writing!! Can’t wait to see their continued growth as writers. 🙌🏻

Powerful learning with @natalielouis13 building our letter sound knowledge in both reading and writing as we use our ABC chart in creative ways! Studying our Ss writing by asking, “What thrills me? What does it say about their identity? What can I teach them now?”#OneTROY

Thank you @alicialuick for 2 wonderful days of growing our understanding of the reciprocity between reading and writing with explicit teaching around vocabulary to support our Ss and LIFT the level of their work! #TroyUnion

@spalmer_mrs What a beautiful example of leaders today impacting the world of tomorrow. Keep spreading your light Maris, you are making a difference!

@mrs_sennott @IamMikeCottone Love this creative, hands on math learning!

Check out our Spooky Array City! #troyunion

@RRalexander2 @IamMikeCottone @TroyUnion The work you are leading with students across TU is truly remarkable! Through you guidance students are learning that culture is lived out through our actions, which then impacts the climate. Thanks for prioritizing this important work with our students.

4th graders installing their bullying awareness and show kindness signs on the playground where they believe they are needed the most! @TroyUnion

@spalmer_mrs Coaching alongside you is a gift! So grateful for your partnership to always grow and learn!

@colleen_chick Love this story!!!

Now, Frank is cozy in his new home in my garden. Hopefully he’ll stick around! 💚

Yesterday’s Recess Adventure: A Thread We found a Praying Mantis on the slide! Frank (a student) helped me collect him so we named him Frank!

Feeling inspired by powerful words about reclaiming student agency in writing! “Anytime we standardize writing, we sideline diverse voices. Worse, we marginalize them. As Goulding Mohammed notes, it is especially important to give voice to Ss who are developing a sense of self.”

Loved seeing all the TU families on this beautiful summer day. What a fabulous community. 🙌🏻 Already can’t wait till the next one. Keep reading, dreaming and creating #TroyUnion rockstars!
