Rewind & Reflect: This school year has been so demanding that I haven’t had the chance to celebrate the wins. Here’s to my Student Leadership class. These kids have pushed themselves farther than I imagined. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for these young leaders.

I’m thrilled to be learning, growing, and building a community this weekend at #nctehomecoming

What a way to end day 1 of #NCTEhomecoming Shoutout to the amazing presenters from Vanderbilt University for making this such an engaging session.

Yes! I’m beyond thrilled to hear from an author that gives a voice so many underrepresented cultures. I will be running, not walking, to this session. #NCTEhomecoming

Thanks swm MsHines & @CodyMillerELA for a great session on leveraging comics, storytelling, & multimedia in literacy! This coming year, I’m going to have students reflect on their background as we consider the American Dream. #OriginStoryPedagogy

Welcome, incoming Warriors! Tomorrow, August 18th, is Freshman Orientation! Come join us for a tour of the school, fun mixers, dinner, and more. See you soon!

Day 1 ✅ We started the year with Book Bunting and were able to make real connections with one another. Students shared aspects of their personality, life experiences, and values, all while learning some new vocab. Dictionaries haven’t been this useful since the 2000s.

All set up for our “Speed Dating” event tomorrow! Students will spend time perusing our classroom library before choosing their independent reading novel.

Next week kicks off our first spirit week of the year! We’ve listened to your feedback and come up with some fun spirit days leading up to homecoming. Remember to go all out and have fun!🎉

Homecoming is just around the corner, Warriors! Tomorrow is the last day to get your Homecoming tickets at the early bird price ($25). If you don’t have a copy of the dance contract, you can find it here on our hoco website sites.google.com/d/1cehOpnXltez…

Who’s ready for pajama day?! The start of spirit week marks 5 days until homecoming! Go all out this week and you might just win a prize!🏆

There’s no better way to celebrate Homecoming than to have Way Back Wed on September 21st! A little Earth, Wind & Fire is just what we all need to keep this week moving.

Real men wear pink.🎗️ On Oct. 21, "Warriors for Warriors" - Walled Lake Western will host its 11th annual "Pink-Out" in an effort to raise money for cancer research and treatment.

My student leaders and I can’t wait to be a part of this great cause. We’ve got a lot of unique/crazy/interesting opportunities for our students to raise money. Keep an eye out, Warriors!

Being a leadership advisor can be really challenging, but moments like these make it all worth it. You have to admire the kind of students that are willing to be silly and think outside the box. 5 days until our annual #pinkout game! #warriors4warriors

Another assembly in the books! Stugo had the honor of supporting Warriors 4 Warriors with every aspect of the 11th annual Pink Out football game. I’m proud of my students for working tirelessly and my fellow staff members for being amazing leaders. #noonefightsalone
