How I spent part of the last day of the school year. So proud of our students and staff! What an amazing school leader to have the privilege to work alongside! newsobserver.com/news/local/…

Wake principal goes from hair to bare to reward students’ success on tests

Leesville Road Principal Ari Cohen asked his students to shoot for 85% proficiency on EOGs; they exceeded that, and he got shaved onstage.

Tiny voices. Big encouragement. 💙🐾 Our younger students had a few important reminders for our EOG testers. Safe to say the pep talk squad understood the assignment. 🎥👏

Our staff showed up for workdays bringing the heart, the hustle, and a little old school flair. We’re kickin’ it old school, because strong routines, solid instruction, and student engagement never go out of style. Here’s to mixtape memories, and classrooms full of awesome. ✨🎶

Started learning a new hobby over winter break - crocheting! Finished up @thewoobles Pierre the penguin, and have started on Felix the fox already. So fun and adorable!

The start of a new year is the perfect time to reflect on goals and steps you can make towards them. The time will pass either way; might as well use it to make progress!

One day before winter break, and I had the perfect shirt to fit the "vacation mode" staff spirit theme as I pushed around the jolly trolley to spread some cheer to our well deserving teachers!
