What a great day at @SeaWorld for our annual Principals Meeting! It was wonderful to connect, share ideas and strengthen the collaboration that drives our work. I’m proud of the leadership our OCPS principals show in supporting our students and staff every day.

One of the highlights of my week was spending time at @Blankner_K8 today! We filmed an upcoming episode of Mondays with Maria and I joined the students there for a town hall. Thank you for such a warm welcome!

Got quite a surprise this afternoon @EndeavorES_OCPS when this book arrived in the mail. My former 7th grade ELA teacher...now Superintendent of Carsonville-Port Sanilac Schools sent me this book to congratulate me on my first principalship. Honored. @doug_muxlow
