Maslow before Bloom reminds us that every student—and every educator—needs safety, care, and connection before they can grow, learn, and shine. When we meet basic needs first, we unlock potential. When we support the hearts of our students and the well-being of our staff,

UNREAL CATCH FROM DENZEL CLARKE 😱 PLAY OF THE YEAR 🔥 (via @MLB) https://t.co/yt8FFkPeZD

https://t.co/787QYsy4x9. Column: Enough is enough. Dodgers are already too good. MLB needs Soto and Sasaki signing elsewhere

Joe Girardi was a win away from going to World Series, and got fired. Aaron Boone’s Yankees collapse every season, and he keeps getting contract extensions. Makes sense.

So grateful to work with such great students, staff, & community stakeholders @GhentSchoolVA!

I'm significantly proud of these rising 9th grade @SouthsideSTEM students, & really greatful to @SVTrobotics for the internship opportunity for them this summer! #CardinalsRISE #RISEwithREDasWeGoGreen #NoMatterWhat @NPSchools_VA @Lenthia4

We’re so excited to have our scholars join us for the start of the 2023-2024 school year! #ReadyDay1 #NoMatterWhat #IgniteandInspire @NPSchools_VA @brkimzey @DrDoreatha

@Sarah3Martin @ToddWhitaker @aaronburdorf15 Most of my middle schoolers love it when we call parents. We just call from our room. It takes a second for the parents to realize we’re calling for positive news. Some students don’t want a call, and I respect that. I make sure to tell them how I’m proud of them.

Thanks @Lenthia4, @SSTEMAcademyMSC, & all the others who I was fortunate to work with! You all will be missed immeasurably!

I'm very grateful for the last 4 yrs at @SouthsideSTEM! I learned a ton & am grateful for the opportunity to be an administrator there! The staff truly love a brilliant group of scholars! #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork was evident! Continue to #RISEwithREDasWeGoGreen! On to Ghent!

I was in the front row, on the way to walk out & @B3Tooley facilitated an impromptu talk-story, engaging with one another & sharing struggles & solutions across states. Networks created instantly! 😍⚡️ 🔥
