My favorite way to wrap up the year is learning to toast to our successes and failures. Some of the most genuine and heartfelt reflections came today! 🥺💚🥂 I’m not crying, you’re crying.

If you are an ELA teacher, it’s not just about reading & writing. Speaking skills are key! 🎙️ This really helps their writing skills too! Today, students worked on debate swag w/ their debate teams! Gum in schools? Disney or Pixar?

I agree @MrsPhilpotSCSF ! @principalmesser is a good egg, & we are so blessed to have his leadership at MI! Our students learned so much in THAT #MasonMoment ! 💚💚
No words. I am so thankful to work alongside a principal who values EVERY child. He created an opportunity for my Ss to participate & included them during the assembly. Also setting them up for success by asking for silent cheers from the audience. PRICELESS! 😊💚@principalmesser
