Thank you @sharonarobinson for sharing your memoir of 1963 and inspiring us with your activism! @vvmsfalcons @WillieBrownMS @SFUnified

Shout out to Chuck @vvmsfalcons for having the first mentoring party of the year!

Volunteered at @VVMSFalcons with @treasinger getting the laptops updated and fixing unstable tables for Mr. G’s theater classroom. We had a great turnout from @SalesforceEng for school setup day.

For #TeacherAppreciationWeek, we're highlighting a few outstanding teachers! Patrick De Ocampo is a 6th grade math & computer science teacher at @VVMSFalcons. Not only does he push his students, but they push him to be a better teacher. #studentcentered #ThankATeacher #WeAreSFUSD

Students reading in English Language Development class. Working on literacy with Mr. Siegel. He is a graduate of SFUSD and now teacher at Viz.

We got honey in our hives. Students engaged in hands on project-based learning. #HQPBL. #wearesfusd. Wish we had this when I was a kid!

Having a little fun in our teacher leadership meeting. Community building and joy are necessary when we collaborate. Students need it too!

New backpacks = happy students. When our students are happy, R.O.C.K. is happy. Thanks SYDNEY PAIGE, Proactiv and Volunteers Of America for suiting up our kids for the school year. #upgrade #backpackgiveaway #backtoschool #ROCKrocks

Group roles promote collaboration and equity.

Building school community.

Students are exploring different types of book in Accelerated Literacy class.

Finally got rid of our last individual student desks. We can officially move on from the 1950s. 21st century here we come! Time for some #hqpbl @newtechnetwork and @Ready4rigor. Thanks @SFUSDiLab and @SalesforceOrg. #wearesfusd

Thanks to our School Resource Officers for donating 450 hotdogs to feed our entire student and staff community. We had a fun filled day with hikes, three legged races, crafts, and a community trash cleanup competition. Thanks @lawyercop1 for the support.

Mr. Williams is launching a 7th grade wide project today. With an @newtechnetwork Entry Event and Need to Knows! 7th graders will present to our new 6th graders. #hqpbl #wearesfusd

Celebrating Black History Month with a day dedicated to reading. We had professors and students from San Francisco State University, Falcon alumni at Mission High School and our @SFUSD_Supe Matthews visit. They read books, talked about the power of literacy!
