@DrP_Principal Great reminder that the clear call of leadership is in asking, “How can I help you help others?” We are all here to sweeten the journey with our unique gifts.

My last two days have been an absolute dream! I GET to hang out with a bunch of teenagers while they navigate their educational journey. The #TRIBE welcomed me with singing, handshakes, hugs, and a college signing. Name a better job on this 🌎. I’ll wait! ❤️🔵🟡#ElevateStafford

Great words of wisdom!

The first day of school is quickly approaching! Teachers, here are ten important reminders as we mentally and emotionally prepare ourselves for today and the days ahead. 🔹 Many parents are doing the very best they know how to do - not the best they can YET, but the best they know how. Help them become their best for their kid. 🔺 Parents are sending us the best they have. Kids deserve the very best we can give them. Replace criticism with compassion. 🔹 Don’t tell a child, “You know better.” Oftentimes, they don’t. Teach them, don’t shame them. 🔺 Do whatever it takes to reach *that kid*. If you can reach *that kid*, you can reach all kids. 🔹 Kids didn’t sign up for a distracted, negative teacher. Give your students the best of you, not what’s left of you. Take care of yourself first so you can better pour into your students. 🔺 There will be a child walking through your door this morning who desperately needs a champion. Love them enough to learn their story and redirect their pathway. 🔹 What you say about your school and the people who fill it will either carry or trample the banner. There is no in between. You are the beginning of your school’s reputation. 🔺Connection over content. Always. In that order. But don’t fall prey to thinking content doesn’t matter. Education is the GATEWAY. 🔹We all fall down, but just because we have fallen doesn’t mean we have failed. We fail when we choose to not stand back up. Find your grit. 🔺Be positive. It’s as simple as that. We have the most important job in the world - the job that prepares the next generation for all future jobs. You’ve got this! Now get out there and kick butt on the first day and every day after that! Let’s GO!👊🏼 [The night before school starts always gets me in my feels. Below is a picture of me my first year as a teacher, in my first classroom, on my first day. 😉🤍]

Just spent three days with these two awesome professionals at the VASSP Conference in VA Beach. What a wonderful opportunity to collaborate with two people who share a love for children and learning. #ElevateStafford #Blessed

The 95th Annual VASSP Conference just adjourned and it’s been an awesome 3 days. Stafford was well represented and we each took away some golden nuggets to make our schools a great place for our children. #ElevateStafford

@ADLimerick So I’m guessing you didn’t have to look very hard for your “why” today? ❤️

We are not positive because life is easy. We are positive because life can be hard. Give yourself (and others) grace. Speak life and encourage others. Look for the good today. Remember your WHY. Believe the best is yet to come.

Possibly the biggest mistake we make in education is focusing on weaknesses instead of strengths and talents. Every child has strengths and talents to be great.
