Opening day did not disappoint with @madison181 new principal @teach_katie. I got to meet a few of my new kiddos and connected with so many from last year. Seeing their excitement to see me was just as great as seeing my new kiddos. #d181proud #kidsmatter #positiveconnections

#HappyMothersDay to the woman who takes care of us every single min of every hour of every day (24/7) @PrimaryPassions.My boys are two of the luckiest in the world, and I feel bad for the ladies they meet later in life, because the bar will have been set pretty high.
