This is spot on! We are facing a potential crisis in all levels of education with the lack of educators entering the profession, the number leaving, and those thinking about leaving! Without high quality educators, students, and ultimately our communities will suffer.

Same! 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

Introducing the 2022 Siegel High School Boy’s Varsity Lacrosse Team

To combat the phone problem in schools across our nation, we are simply asking teachers: “What can you do to be more entertaining than the phone?!”

Year 14 in the books. Not sure what my next chapter will bring as my family relocates back to Buffalo at the end of the summer. Just keeping the faith right now. ❤️

Having a little adventure before our big adventure starts ❤️

Had a great interview today! Teaching, instructional coach/leadership role….fingers crossed 🤞🏼

We sure had a lot of fun last night.

There's a nurse shortage...let's lower the qualifications. There's an engineering shortage...let's lower the qualifications. There's a pilot shortage...let's lower the qualifications. If this sounds illogical, how does it make sense for teachers?

Enjoyed a fun filled day of donuts, lunch and shopping. Soaking in the last few weeks here in TN. ❤️

Been a busy couple of days around here. The #PonivasPrincesses OFFICIALLY became the #ClarkClowns, celebrated with friends at our going away party and the big kid got some new glasses! Just two weeks left in Tennessee and a lot more fun to be had 😁

Quick little visit to the Georgia Aquarium. ❤️

72* in Buffalo today, but the twins still want to swim! 🤣

Future site of my at home office. I will be joining many as a #transitionedteacher. After several interviews, teaching and non-teaching, I have accepted a position! More details to come 😁

A friend of mine is looking to hire a manager, a cashier and a runner for the concession stand at McKnight Park. Just after Labor Day and runs seven weeks. Play is mostly M, T, TH, F. Starting at $12, depending on position/experience. Reach out at [email protected].

This is the first birthday I’ve been able to spend with my mom in 14 years. Happy 60th Birthday Mom!

Just like that, today is their first day of Pre-K!

We decided to separate the girls for Pre-K this year. Today, they got a special treat by spending the day together since Izzy’s teacher was absent. Look like they’re having a good time. ❤️

These last couple months have surely been an adjustment. Moving back to NY, switching careers and these girls going to Pre-k. But seeing these smiling faces makes it absolutely worth it. ❤️

Snowmageddon has hit us here in North Tonawanda. ❄️
