D.I. welcomed me with open arms my first year teaching. I remember meeting her that first day, big smile, so genuine. She walked me to the CG art room giving words of encouragement. Her standards r high n her support is endless. Forever grateful for her leadership and opportunity

Such an amazing student!!!!

Any Randolph colleagues having trouble logging in to Microsoft? I was doing schoolwork all morning. Now it won’t let me login to email, Teams, or any of our programs like PowerPoint. Help!!!

This is why teaching “Art For Peace of Mind” art/mindfulness infusion to my middle school students means the world to me.

I love when kiddos create beautiful vignettes with the art supplies ❤️

Episode 2 of the top secret RMS Library project…the one where kiddos fashion their own trash bag smocks and construct gigantic creations. Big shout out to our amazing maintenance man Mr. LaRocco for helping these kiddos make their ideas come to fruition! John DiEgidio
