I can’t believe the last day of school is finally here. This was a year like no other and I am so incredibly grateful to have been part of my students’ learning journey. They have taught me so much and have made such an impact on me. I am so proud of the first and fourth grade!

I’m so excited to use these fresh herbs grown at our school at @MineolaMS! The herbs smell amazing and I’m looking forward to reading about the historical information about each of them. Thank you MMS Greenhouse! #MineolaProud

The Community Action Club hard at work packing up the donations to support families during the holidays 🦃🍁🥰 #MineolaProud #MissionDrivenMineola #MineolaTogether

It is Unity Day today! Students at @MineolaMS painted rocks with positive messages to spread kindness! #MineolaProud

One of my favorite things to do is share books I love with our learners! This is the book I am sharing right now and a few of the pages that stand out to me (so hard to choose!!) it is a must read 😊 #MineolaProud #KindnessMatters

@Jackson_Ave @Goldmanteach Congratulations! This is amazing news!

Mrs. Goldman-One of our teachers is a published author @Goldmanteach so #MineolaProud she wrote this special book with her 4th graders over the past 2 years

I am wishing everyone a very happy and healthy summer! ☀️

I am also so incredibly grateful to have been part of @Goldmanteach and @MsHDeNicola’s classroom community. Throughout the year, they have both been such kind and caring mentors to me and I have learned so much. I am so lucky to have learned from you. #MineolaProud #MineolaAU
