What an amazing afternoon honoring our Premiere Professionals who achieved NBCT and renewed NBCT as well as those who submitted all 4 components! @NBPTS @GraysCreekHigh @GallberryFarm @joelcmayo @YimiyaP @JaneFields1

I am excited to announce that I am an author! "Mommy, Am I Ugly?" is a children's book that addresses a conversation that many of us didn't know we needed to have. Check it out on Amazon: https://t.co/oTAACcqo25 Check out this live reading on Facebook: https://t.co/WqP6yua3bH

Governor Cooper spoke passionately about the work that needs to be done to ensure all children have access to opportunities that public education provides. I left even more inspired to continue the work that changes generations. Thanks for the opportunity! #NCTOYPOY #Honored

I had the awesome privilege to join the 2020, 2021, and 2022 TOYs and POYs at the Govenor's Mansion ("The people's house "). It was an amazing experience. I love being in a room full of passionate Educators. Governor Cooper was welcoming and humble as he greeted each of us.

Never walked out of the tunnel at Lambeau before..#GreenBayPackers

What an amazing birthday surprise to have several Cumberland County Schools cabinet members, principals and staff worship God with me yesterday as our church celebrated my 60th birthday and learned more about my fight to help further research to end childhood blood cancer

NCCAT has been a place where I have had awesome experiences for the last 16 years! Kelly Poquette and I organized and facilitated our first retreat and it was just as amazing. There is something magical that happens when educators share their best practices!Thank you @NCCATNews

Smith’s Challenge #2: Getting out of your comfort zone… Students were challenged to learn and perform the Charleston! All who took the challenge did PHENOMENAL as did their classmates who supported them the whole way.

CCS- Cumberland County Schools

It is always amazing to be in the room with other educators, especially when we have such humble and supportive district leaders!

Looking good team @TEACH21NC !

Power presentation from Dr. Mitch Prinstein on the research regarding social media and our kids. He shared the good & the bad. Loved hearing ways educators can support kids with their “technology diet” #NCTOYPOY #BTGNC2022

I was deeply impacted by the stories and the convictions of the presenters at #ColorofEducation

I’d say that the joy in this photo came from me asking “Are the recordings of the sessions going up tomorrow?” The best summits make you want to go to EVERY session! Grateful for the hard work of the staff of @DudleyFloodCtr @theNCForum @A_Kazouh #ColorofEducation ❤️#NCTOYPOY

For my 60th birthday December 14th I'm asking all my friends and family to donate $60 to help eradicate childhood blood cancers- Below is Dr. Connelly’s fundraising page link.   https://t.co/qs9f2OhBct Hannah Vet | Campaign Development Manager The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

Intentional data conversations with Instructional coaches from @MWMustangs @southviewbobcat @SLMSBronco @DouglasByrdHS @alger_high #dataprotocolsinaction @chcatalano @DrWilsonNorman

Great to see @CumberlandCoSch @FSUBroncos

Honored to be back @WhiteHouse at the Communities in Action: Building a Better North Carolina discussion. Excited to share with everyone the hard work that is happening in @ncpublicschools. #NCTOYPOY

We cannot wait. More pay for beginning teachers, eliminate the PRAXIS, reinstate masters pay…. We have reached that moment when widespread change is the only antidote.
