A fellow educator asked me how I'm able to remain so calm and focused as a 1st-year principal during a pandemic. I let him know that I wake up everyday 🔥🔥 up, anchored on My Why & My Purpose. In these times, I encourage you to think deep and hard about what drives you.

I just love my OVA family. They're some of the most driven and intelligent educators that I know. We celebrate each other and value each other's experiences. Sidenote: Connect with those that have a vision for something bigger and greater than your current reality. #OVA3
