You may end up spending forever browsing all the incredible options, like I’m doing, but please boost the signal on this and bid if you can! The #BooksforMaui auction is supporting post-fire relief efforts by way of four organizations. #BooksCanChangeLives
#BooksForMaui is now live! It is a bookish auction to raise funds for the Maui wildfire relief efforts. With the full impact, devastation, and loss of life of the wildfire yet to be understood, we encourage everyone to bid and/or signal boost:

“Trust is not given, it’s earned.”. So true. Thank you for taking the time to share a little bit of your story with @Region4FCPS leaders at our kickoff today, @Gponce_Schools!

Powerful speech full of important reminders from LBSS grad & future educator Seoun Lee: “Please continue to help us believe in our abilities to succeed” & “please remind us that our value as a student & a human being is not determined by our test scores” 👏🏻 @Region4FCPS @fcpsnews

Have waffles. Will deliver. Happy teacher appreciation week to the dedicated professionals who show up every day for our students! ❤️. (Special shout-out to our building engineer, Ayman, who cheerily jumped in with the admin team behind the waffle makers this morning. 👏)

Today, my current Lions got to hear from a former Lion & overall incredible young man who I was lucky to meet when I taught @ CVHS. Thank you, @TurnerKobie! You spoke powerful & important reminders into their worlds, reminding them they are enough, just as they are. #LiftTheLions

Me to my (almost) 7 year old: What do you think mommy did at work today?. Him: Walk around, talk to your students, & um… like… do some work. Oh & maybe sometimes have fun. Never a boring moment at home or school! 😂#MommyAdminLife.

“How we carry all of it all at once.” . Ah, so beautifully and painfully true. I cannot wait to get my hands on Above Ground.
This is the first poem that appears in my new book, Above Ground. I’ve been thinking a lot about the simultaneity of the human experience. How joy sits alongside sorrow. How wonder sits alongside despair. How we carry all of it all at once.

Ran my first @schoolretool hack today! Dared a few @FCPSLibertyMS teachers to do a “Ditch the Desk” Challenge. Saw several approaches & lots of active engagement. Mrs. Tripp even put the flyer on her door so students could hold her accountable. 👏🏻 @DanielKeever @MrJasonStrong
