When people ask why I do what I do, I’ll now be showing them these two photos. Giving students the foundation to leverage their passions to do BIG THINGS. So proud of this @HenricoSchools student! 👏 #lifeready

Didn’t get any photos during our PL session today, but the positive energy from our ELA & Math teams at @JohnRolfeMS was contagious. Ready to take on the year with this team! 💪 🐆 💛.

📣Calling all administrators 📣 As we close out our journeys toward our admin. degrees, a colleague and I want to do an impactful book study (leadership focused) together. Send me your best recs!.

Make it community building, but add ✨ rapids✨ Blessed to work, and do life, alongside these adventurous current and former @ElkoMiddle ELA educators.

This lady loves her bus kids like they are her own. She was in tears on the last day talking about how special they are and how much she’d miss them this summer. We all need someone like this in our corner, and I’m glad our students have her. 💛 🐆 @JohnRolfeMS @HenricoSchools

These 🦅 were SOARING today in our small group. Active engagement and awesome enthusiasm. We had a great time! Excited to see how they do! 🦅 💙 @ElkoMiddle

Did a little additional small group and individual goal-setting with 6th graders yesterday. Such a powerful tool! 🔥 💛 🐆 Y’all got this!

Been working with some Jags of all grade levels recently as we gear up for testing season, and I am just proud of the determination I’m seeing. So much love for these @JohnRolfeMS Jaguars 🐆 💛

Teachers like these make a 🌎 of difference. @miss_staton_ received a request from this 6th gr S to help him in our after school learning lab. She showed up unplanned and worked with him and others… the entire time. Proud to be a part of the @ElkoMiddle family 💙

Huge shoutout to Mx. Peña and Ms. Hargrove!.

This collab was too much fun not to share! 6th gr. CFI S’s @JohnRolfeMS wrote to Ms. Hargrove’s S’s @VHS_BlueDevils as part of their PT. After collecting more info from our 6th graders by survey, the Blue Devils wrote back with their book recommendations. 💪🔥📚 @HenricoEnglish

Live modeling is crucial to student success. Don’t just say it- show it. Audible, collective thinking created SO much clarity for students. Thanks for your dedication to helping grow your young scholars’ writing abilities, Skylar! @JohnRolfeMS 🐆 💛

Always a great time with my Eagles! 🦅 We kicked off book clubs in Ms. Eubank’s class today. Love seeing S’s own their chosen roles during book clubs. All were engaged & excited to read! For all who worry that their students can’t, THEY CAN. 💙📚 @ElkoMiddle @HenricoEnglish

Watched a middle schooler full on sprint to meet the bus that was pulling out. Made me think that this young scholar had a reason to be at school today. Our S’s all have different reasons, but some of them don’t have 1. As educators/admin, let’s help them find one. 📚 💫 ❤️.

Always a good day when I get to collaborate with @mrsseals09 to support our Jags! We had a great time modeling 1 on 1 writing conferences with scholars for one of our 7th grade teachers. 💪 🐆 teamwork is crucial to student success.

@ParkHSC03.
