That’s our Mia!

My 4 year old teaching assistant (daughter) looked at me this week right before logging into class and said. “Dad, don’t give up, I am proud of you.” Needless to say I’ll be teaching class Monday and everyday after.

Never dreamed I would be taking a Yale online class while wearing a tiara and listening to my daughter sing the song from Trolls 2...not to mention taking a test at the time..gotta love the new normal! Focus on the bright side and embrace the time to do all the things we put off

If you look closely...you will see High schoolers volunteering time out of their day to hold a Q&A session with our 5th graders! The kids developed questions regarding their next step in their academic journey and these amazing high schoolers put them at ease! THANK YOU! 🙏

Watching the kids do dancing classrooms virtually was awesome on a tough day! Christine Walsh Kathy Connolly Jennifer Gallagher Paul Romanelli, Ed.D. @DancingDCLI Cristine Zawatson

Can not be prouder! Not only are our kids competing in Odyssey World Finals, but they are also making a difference in their own community! ❤️

Today, we had “Alumni” join us to share the transition from East to Middle School. Seeing my old students and hearing them talk to my current kids was heartwarming. It was like a family reunion! Thank you to all who “came back” Kathy Connolly Cristine Zawatson Jennifer Gallagher Paul Romanelli, Ed.D.

Re-reading Bolman and Deal for my doctoral oral exam tomorrow and I wonder if Sean Murray knew what would happen when he teamed MrMac and me as Odyssey of the Mind coaches??

When you “crush” your first class at Yale!
