I almost forgot to post the standard back to school picture. It’s an honor to begin my time as the lead learner at Garfield Elementary in Parsons. I can’t wait to “Level Up” this year at Garfield Elementary! It’s going to be an amazing year to be a Viking. Let’s go Vikes!

@_TannerSmith802 Don’t worry. It will slow down in about 40 years…

I’m really trying to savor the last few weeks of summer but swim championships, finals for summer classes, and a new baby all in a matter of 3-4 weeks seems to be adding to my stress quite a bit

My newest first day as a PK Viking. It’s going to be a great year at Parsons Middle School! Hard work pays off. Go Vikes!

@kurtfriess And principals…

Mr.Veach, if you ever have another chance to trade a generational talent, future hall of famer in the prime of his career, freak of a WR, please do it after 3:30…we have students openly crying in class today.

Happy National Sons Day! Looks like trouble brewing.

My boys…

Baby boy, Bo Alan! Proud daddy and Mommy is doing great. 9 lb 6 oz of pure joy. Looks like a thoroughbred!

Twin day for the win day! Three pregnant Mr. Pontious clones. Now if I only really had three of me, so could keep up!

Wild and wacky Wednesday with my boy! We are showing our kind spirit this week at school with Kindness Week!

Taking care of the ones I love, with the one I love! Round 1 is done!

I get to take a big cert. test this week. A class of third graders found out and made me cards wishing me luck and included helpful test taking tips! They emphasized rereading questions and grit as the most important skills. Right back at you! Well played 3rd grade! #relentless

My message to my fellow Americans and friends around the world following this week's attack on the Capitol.

@HeyMrReid @aintnoswayze And you do an amazing job! Keep up the good work!

@aintnoswayze I try to change that stereotype every day. Every day.

@aintnoswayze My football coaches were actually some of my very best teachers. Great teachers make great coaches. I did both and can truly say my main focus was on inspiring all kids. Good coaches use the profound relationship building ability of sports as a tool to reach all kids.

After the Texans’ latest loss today, J.J. Watt was asked how he and his team would be able to bounce back next week. His answer is required watching for many.

A beautiful sunrise at EES! What a great day to learn!

Erie girls win the 2020 Humboldt Tournament, winning all three games including a double-overtime victory over Uniontown on Thursday and a 30-28 win over Humboldt tonight.
