There isn’t a prescribed timeline for resilience. No two experiences of adversity are identical. Some people bounce back rapidly. Others need more time to sit with their emotions and process pain. Strength is not the speed of your recovery. It’s the intensity of your resolve.

This #MentalHealthMonth, Phyllis Fagell, LCPC has identified six ways that educators can cope and be a reassuring source of strength for students when the only constant right now is change and uncertainty. Learn more here: bit.ly/3rhS7JM

It was beautiful to hear how much our students have grown as musicians at our spring concert! 🎼🎺🥁

Many thanks to Principal Vroman for her service to the students of Ida B. Wells Middle School. DCPS is excited to announce Mr. William Lyles as the new principal of Ida B. Wells Middle School for School Year 2022-2023.

Over 3 years ago, William Lyles III and I began planning for the opening of Ida B. Wells Middle School! I could not be more excited or proud to see my founding partner and good friend be named the next principal of Ida B. Wells Middle School!!

Best principal and future principal ever 💙💚 Wells is a great place to work because of their example!

It was a true joy to celebrate our founding scholars today at their promotion ceremony! I've taught some of these scholars all 3 years and met many in their 5th grade year! So much love for this group! 💚💙

As this chapter closes, I'm feeling a lot of emotions, but the greatest one is gratitude! 💙💚

Oh the walk down memory lane! 🥹Right back at you William Lyles III!! So proud of you and I know you will continue to lead with love! #love #grow #serve

"When we say, ‘You’re not where you’re supposed to be,’ we’re saying, ‘You’re not who you’re supposed to be.' And if you survived the last 2 years, you can be successful at school. We have to keep telling kids that.” My latest article for The Washington Post. washingtonpost.com/parenting/2022…
