Best Thanksgiving movie ever

-Former players STILL supporting our school. -Colleagues showing how you truly can achieve your goals, like running in the Boston Marathon. -Wearing mustaches in support of mens’ health. - and last but certainly not least, HECTOR the Trojan!

#TBHSisGRATEFUL2025 for sure. -Supportive Administrators -State Final Four teams -Recognizing greatness in former students. The list goes on and on.

Gratitude is OVERFLOWING today. Why am I proud to teach at TBHS?!? The list is endless; here are a few samples: a thread. -Chaperoning State 🥎 pep bus - GREAT kids & great support for our programs! -Holiday dress up days - ❤️ the spirit. -Seeing former students while on vacay!

Act of Kindness today. We boxed up, loaded, hauled, and unloaded a LOT of nonperishable items for our annual food drive. Somewhere between 60 & 70 boxes. 💪 Had some help from these (& others not shown) amazing StuCo peeps. #TBHSisGRATEFUL2025

What inspires me? When a kid gets it. One of my students puts in the extra work to raise their grade. One of our StuCo kids truly exemplifies leadership. One of my volleyball players works harder & harder to perform at the next level. That’s what inspires me. #TBHSisGRATEFUL2025

Writing thank you notes to our custodial staff & cafeteria staff is today’s Gratitude Challenge. Our staff is the best!! #TBHSisGRATEFUL2025

Today’s Challenge: post about your “why” For me, it’s always been seeing kids learn & not hate math class. When a student is able to get it - especially when it was a struggle - I feel a sense of accomplishment that I don’t think I could find in another job. #TBHSisGRATEFUL2025

Today’s challenge has me posting about the uniqueness of TBHS. I always say that Troy is the littlest big town & the biggest small town around. We have all of the advantages of a small school and a big school rolled into one! #TBHSisGRATEFUL2025

Today's Gratitude Challenge has me posting a video of me telling a student that I appreciate him or her. This is a video from the past, but it is a classic with a former student, Dono. I will have to make a new one today, but this one HAS to go up, too. #TBHSisGRATEFUL2025

To be honest, ALL of my students push me to do better. Not a day goes by that everything went perfect. I’m ALWAYS trying to be better. Until every student masters everything I teach, I can do better. So, I’m grateful for all of them from the A’s to the F’s. #TBHSisGRATEFUL2025

Today’s Challenge calls for thanking a student who’s always pushing me to be better. I’m actually posting gratitude for 2 FORMER students who are now colleagues. Much thanks to Ms. Seago & Mrs. Stanton for pushing me & our StuCo @ TBHS & NGC to be their best! #TBHSisGRATEFUL2025

Today’s Gratitude Challenge has me in a very timely fashion thanking a student for being supremely helpful. Gary garnered the praise of both the sub AND his classmates for being very helpful during my absence Friday! #TBHSisGRATEFUL2025

The TBHS Gratitude challenge continues! Today, I’m thankful for kids who are ALWAYS willing to step up & help others. In StuCo, we have a lot - too many to name, tbh - but I will thank our SENIOR officers. 3 years of working with them has been a pleasure! #TBHSisGRATEFUL2025

Couldn’t agree more! Love this tradition!! #TrojanPride

Let’s Gooo!! #TrojanPride 💪

For day 4,I’m posting about one of my FAVORITE traditions at TBHS - HOMECOMING!! I ❤️ how our community comes together to celebrate & show support for our school! The parade, the tailgate, the game, the dance - I love it ALL!! #It’sAGREATtimeto be a Trojan!! #TBHSisGRATEFUL2025

For day 3 of the TBHS Gratitude Challenge, I’m posting a pic of this guy who has ALWAYS had my back! We came into the district together 23 years ago, & “Lumber Matt” has been there for me ever since (& before, tbh). I am proud to call Mr. Summers my friend! #TBHSisGRATEFUL2025

Day 2 of the TBHS gratitude challenge has me thanking this guy for always making me laugh! LOVE a good joke about his shiny dome!! Thanks Mr. Mueller! #BaldISBeautiful #TBHSisGRATEFUL2025
