“Why do you teach?” THIS ♥️❤️ Bakersfield City School District DowntownDragons Mary Barlow #KernTOY2021

What an honor this has been. Thank you Mary Barlow and KCSOS for capturing who I am as a teacher in this video. #teamBCSD DowntownDragons

Tell me a teacher lives at this address, without actually telling me a teacher lives at this address. 🏡 🥰♥️✏️ Jumping with joy, feeling appreciated and oh, so loved! #kerntoy2021 DowntownDragons KCSOS

Thank you so much! ❤️♥️❤️ DowntownDragons KCSOS Mary Barlow

Thank you KCSOS 🎉 for the celebration! To be honest, I won the day Bakersfield City School District hired me almost a decade ago. To be able to make a lasting impact in the lives of children who will grow up to become our future generations is the biggest reward. #kerntoy2021 #teambcsd

BEST DAY EVER! Appreciate everything you did for us teachers! #teambcsd #kerntoy2021 Bakersfield City School District DowntownDragons Noreen Barthelmes

🙋🏻‍♀️Love HCBB for all they do for our community, and for me. I am a better person inside & out because they give me the opportunity to be a better human. When I pull my sleeve up and give a little, I get a lot in return. So much love! 🥰❤️ #teambcsd DowntownDragons

Here’s to celebrating another year around the sun and conquering whatever mountains are placed on my path in life. DowntownDragons Bakersfield City School District #teachersonbreak

Tomorrow, let me love like it’s my job. 💜 This room is soon to be filled with children who’ve never set foot in a classroom or had a teacher in the flesh. How lucky I am to be there first. #teambcsd

What a week...err, 3 days! I love school! DowntownDragons #teambcsd

And just like that, your girl got 6th place in her first ever Malibu Triathlon! Not a bad way to spend a Sunday! #teamBCSD DowntownDragons

😅😂 First graders are fun. Hard pass but I’m leaning towards taco 🌮. #teambcsd #downtowndragons DowntownDragons

First grade isn’t the only thing I teach! Lead a 90 minute ride this AM for #inshapefightscancer Sweatfest! All proceeds go to help fight cancer!

Teacher life—work hard and play harder. Utah weekend 🏔🥾⚡️ Angels Landing and Emerald Pools #TeacherLife #teambcsd Bakersfield City School District

Thank you to all who are or have served this great country ❤️💙🇺🇸 Proud to be a DowntownDragons and honor those men and women from the fences! Bakersfield City School District #teambcsd

Wise words from a 7 year old and a daily reminder for us all — Your heart has love inside it. Share it with those around you! #teamBCSD Bakersfield City School District @DrCaliGrit
