For ‘20-21, we are ALL 1st year teachers, counselors, principals, assistant principals, & superintendents. None of us have ever experienced what we are going to endure & accomplish this year. We are all in this TOGETHER. We’ll be our best. #edchat #LeadUpChat #LNCPride #nced

Lots of kids have some really good reasons to have a bad attitude. But we expect them to have a good one every day. We should never have higher expectations of the kids than we have of ourselves.

Ts, on behalf of HS and MS students everywhere: Don’t be the syllabus & rules teacher on day 1! My son is 9 & he already knows the rules. Day 1 (and beyond) needs to be so fun & engaging that they can’t wait to come back tomorrow. Don’t follow the status quo, blow the box up!!!

no amount of preparation can predict you for the challenges God has in store ahead. tearing my ACL, medial & lateral meniscus has taught me more about myself than i could’ve ever imagined! excited to be released & ease into playing again🏀 tough times don’t last, tough people do.

I am totally on board with this idea for 5th grade this year! @Clint_Allen21 what do you think? We could meet once a week at lunch and invite the other 5th grade teachers to join us. I can think of so many benefits!
