Thankful for Lawson’s group of friends, our district’s commitment to the arts, and his school. We love Shelby East Middle !

Our eager botanists can’t wait for our baby spider plant to sprout more roots. They have a pot of soil waiting.

Proud of the SCHS and MLCHS swimmers this weekend at regionals. These boys showed a lot of improvement this year as 8th graders. All of those 5:30am morning workouts paid off!… instagram.com/p/B8UnHQxH8t8k…

Sketching out our next math unit with my favorite mathematician. I’m thankful for a mom that finds composing and decomposing numbers fascinating, too.

It’s exciting to see PSE’s outdoor education initiative come to fruition! Our inaugural meeting had 117 kids. Next steps include designing and building a butterfly garden, relocating our bee hives closer to campus, and getting our outdoor classroom built.#GoOutside #BeeTheChange

When you come out of your morning yoga class .... and see you have an NTI day... what do you run to school to grab? Your Shape Bait calendar, of course! #thefirstofthemonth

Without being asked, these girls helped their friend find his way after a fire drill. Kids are so much more than a test score. ❤️

We gave our ferns “haircuts” today to practice our fine motor skills and cut out the frostbitten leaves. 🪴

My dad bought my class a greenhouse for my birthday. Isn’t he the best?!? 🌱 #BeeTheChange

154 elementary students and 18 adults helped make Friday’s “Bee the Change” meeting a success. We planted seeds for our school garden and even got to visit our school beehives. #BeeTheChange #AgEd

This teacher is ready to do some moonlighting on City Council! I’d appreciate your vote in November.
