Simple, direct, and supportive of students Let’s call that a win.

We are so proud of our East Forsyth Middle #SAVEPromiseClub students. Today, they loaded up over 30 boxes of food for our local Salvation Army Food Pantry. @NATIONALSAVE @wsfcs

Over 450 students of our students made a donation this month to the local food bank or those in need in Western North Carolina. Then all of our students spent an hour yesterday living out the @NATIONALSAVE theme for November of “Reach Out and Help”. #servicelearning #education

We have had a busy few days in the Learning Commons. These students were using some viral challenges and Minute to Win It games to gather data and review things like exponents, area of polygons, and order of operations. #Math #CriticalThinking #Engagement #Learn

I am so proud of the work our students are putting in to make our school a better place. We are blessed to work with @NATIONALSAVE and @sandyhook. https://t.co/NsvS2rHksm

Friends in education, Let’s band together to boost morale in Western North Carolina. https://t.co/xkeddwNzaU

It’s day two of school (with students), and it’s probably time to drop an educational buzzword. This year, let’s love them with fidelity.

This is an amazing school (I know; I received my first Masters there) and a fantastic way to support young women who see higher education as out of reach. #HigherEducation #Women

Who’s ready for 2024-25? Let’s go! I can’t wait to play with ChatTube and the CRAFT prompt technique with my colleagues during our return to school sessions. Did I mention my puppy came to hang out with me when I was prepping? 💛

My days of NCBOLD for 2024 have come to a close. I cannot fully express how thankful I am for the educators that came to my sessions, showed enthusiasm, and truly embraced the 24-25 school year with purpose. A huge thanks also goes to my fellow ambassadors! #NCBOLD @ncdpiDTL

Day six of NCBOLD is the books for this year, and we are headed to Rocky Mount and Fayetteville next. I’m loving all my interactions and groups. Thanks, #NCTeachers for making this a great experience for us as presenters. @ncdpiDTL

While this is not a focus of my sessions this week at #NCBOLD, it is another thing we should be considering in our efforts to leverage tools and help teachers.

Another trip for some of our East Forsyth Middle School students to engage in our community with @Bookmarksretail! We can’t say thank you enough to the store staff, volunteers, and especially Lupe for her dedication to bring literacy, access, and kindness to everyone! @wsfcs

Thank you @Bookmarks for welcoming a group of students from East Forsyth Middle School for an amazing field trip today! When they leave reading and asking when we get to go back, we know they felt seen, appreciated, and loved! #Readers #Bookjoy

Thank you, @NATIONALSAVE and @sandyhook for an amazing Youth Summit..

I am so blessed to work at a school where diversity is not just accepted; it is celebrated and included. https://t.co/z1e7aa2fzu

One of my favorite teachers and her classes joined me in the EFMS Learning Commons today to do reading collaboration sessions.
