Looking forward to being the guest lead on the Teach Better Mastermind tomorrow!

Perfect weekend with my girl. Her front tooth popping in is killing me, but “time” doesn’t seem to listen when I ask it to slow down. 🤪 So here we are! Soaking up every moment. 🩷

Climate and Culture

The magic of Disney isn’t in the theme park rides. You can get that anywhere. The MAGIC is because of the PEOPLE ❤️ and how they make you feel.

Let’s bring that to our schools. A smile, a welcome it’s good to see you costs nothing but it’s a game changer.
