Thoughtful advice from a thoughtful guy!

The man in the light blue is a war vet celebrating his 100th bday and was TEARING IT DOWN to the Preservation Hall Jazz Band tonight in Denver. Like/share until we know who this legend named “Howard” is and remember to NEVER be “too old” to love/live life… #preshallband

Tonight was a good night! Proud of U Prep, our community, and our future school in Adams14.

So proud of the work we did alongside families and community members to get to tonight. Now the real work begins! Looking forward to working alongside the district to serve the Adams14 community. Onward!

Very proud of this work!

It has been an incredibly difficult year, but I am so proud of the work U Prep is doing, alongside our students and their families, to ensure all kids get back to grade level - no matter the disruptions of the past 18 months.

Close bars, not schools! Our kids are counting on us.

We broke 20 this month in Richland Parish @La_Believes - we have over 20 certified mentor teachers ready to host @ULM_Official residents this fall #LaEd

Kudos to @JBaghian for highlighting the role of knowledge in testing and Louisiana's curriculum & testing pilot that tries to address that during the #NAEP virtual release. A breath of fresh air and common sense. Hope other states/districts/ed journalists are paying attention!

As a teacher, I greatly appreciate Will Ferrell. Preach!

Parent Feedback: Teachers who post all assignments and activities for the week on Sunday or Monday, save parents and students a SIGNIFICANT amount of organization time each day. Including it all on one Doc or Slides presentation, with all links embedded also helps.
