This morning I joined hundreds of education leaders at @theCAAASA 2026 Statewide Professional Development Summit, which RCOE is proud to co-host this year. At @RCOE, we believe access and opportunity must be treated as responsibilities, not aspirations.

Our goal is to serve students in all the ways they need to thrive. Which made yesterday particularly meaningful, as @RCOE leadership team members came together to pack food bags for our families. This effort will continue weekly to help make the season brighter for the community.

Honored to recognize Mr. Gabriel Fajardo as our 2026 @RCOE Principal of the Year. His focus on connection, communication, and culture is transforming Alternative Education campuses into places where students and staff thrive. A well deserved honor.

Honored to recognize Dr. Keasha Russell as our 2027 @RCOE Teacher of the Year. Her leadership in Sports Medicine CTE prepares students for careers in healthcare while modeling compassion, professionalism, and service. A truly deserving recipient.

In this episode of #RCOEtheTorch pro athelete & "Don't Let the System Beat You” author Dwayne Wallace shares how his journey from football to public service has become a mission to empower #FosterYouth. Subscribe to Season3️⃣ @Spotify @ApplePodcasts 📺📼@ https://t.co/oOtdES7StP.

One year as a @BBBSIE mentor and my heart is so full. Best decision and so much gratitude for my Little and her family 💚💚💚

Evening trails…chasing sunsets 🏃‍♀️🌄🙌 #fitleaders #getiutside @fit_leaders

Sunny, runny weekend = The best way to recharge from/for the week ☀️🏃‍♀️🙌 @fit_leaders #runner #getoutside

Running while traveling changes more than your route, it changes your perspective. Infinitely grateful for miles and smiles throughout downtown #Seattle on our family trip ☀️🏃‍♀️🐳 #travelrunner #fitleaders @fit_leaders #ExploreMore

When your girlfriend needs to complete her virtual #halfmarathon, you have to agree to put the miles in as a team 🙌🫶💪 #friendswhoruntogether #running #fileaders @fit_leaders

Sharing a healthy lifestyle with my family, particularly my kids, means the world. No better way to celebrate our daughter’s sixth birthday than with two epic weekend hikes 🥳⛰️🥰 #fitleader #familyfitness @fit_leaders

“Strength does not come from physical capacity, it comes from an indomitable will.” Mahatma Gandhi One of the hardest trials I’ve done, but so very grateful to conquer Cactus to Clouds. What a gift to be able to push past physical limits and witness the majesty of God 🙌⛰️✨

Sometimes you have to show up for your long run when the sun’s not out and you have to do the miles on your own… maybe that’s when you grow the most 🩷 Rain or shine, it’s a happy Sunday ☺️ #runninglifelessons #fitleaders @fit_leaders

Repping my new @1LOVEIE hat on this morning’s run 🙌🌟🏃‍♀️ #fitleaders #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocal @fit_leaders
