Soooo Proud! Opening night of our musical. Don’t underestimate a middle school kid, nor any kid for that matter. Empower them and watch them fly!

Teachers getting to know kids by fostering relationships, encouraging creativity, and... oh yeah, sneaking in a way to expand their vocabulary! Love what I’m seeing at WSPMS to start the year.

How many of us still have educators, coaches, and mentors that we consider our “teachers for life?” I can name several from RCPS who influenced me.
