Came across this and it really made me stop and think about how we frame our thoughts. Happy Friday everyone!

I wrote my first mini grant and it was approved! So excited for what's coming Blackhawk Academy! Thank you Kane County Health for this opportunity to further our mental health supports for students! #BlackhawkPride #MentalHealthMatters #JoyfulLeader #Grateful

Shout out to the amazing leaders working like crazy to do what’s best for students & staff!💙I’m listening to an amazing leader do everything she can to make things easier for everyone else.I’m in awe & full of gratitude to be in a place that gives such care & thought.#WestIsBest

I remind myself of this often, both professionally and personally. 💛Allowing that space to do things differently shifts everything, in the best way. #JoyfulLeader #Change #BeYou

This!!!

Best birthday gift from my students. I love this! #BlackhawkPride #Principal #Grateful

That's a wrap! We had a great 2021/22 school year! #BlackhawkPride #WestIsBest

One of my absolute favorite parts of being a Principal! Congrats A on your early graduation! I can't wait to watch you walk that stage in May! #Proud #Principal #StayFocused #BlackhawkStrong #BlackhawkPride #Graduate #2023

More of this please! 🩷

Seriously the most fun! Journey brought us all so much joy 🐾

Thanks to West 40, ILSchoolCampusSafety & every amazing presenter for a fantastic conference! Such important work & I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn from all of you. 💙 #SchoolSafety #BlackhawkPride #WestIsBest #RelationshipsFirst #MentalHealthMatters

Being a principal has been the hardest but most rewarding job I’ve had yet. I’m grateful to my team who helps me do this work every day and who took a little extra time today to make sure I felt appreciated. #Grateful #Principal

Never doubt how much little things can impact a sense of belonging and community at school. 💙🩶🎃

Sitting with our school counselor & a student who just finished her last class talking post secondary plans and she’s hitting submit on her college application! 🎓 I can’t stop smiling! This might just be the coolest part of my job! #ProudPrincipal #BlackhawkPride

My school is amazing! I love our new mural that incorporates our students’ voices and talent. #BlackhawkPride #Principal #Success #Connection #Transition

My last graduation as Blackhawk’s Principal! A special day that reminds me how hard it is to leave my amazing students & team. ❤️💙 But I still have a month at BHA to enjoy before my next adventure….DIRECTOR of STUDENT SERVICES in Hinkley-Big Rock!

Kicked off the 24-35 school year in style! So grateful I joined this positive and student focused administrative team. It’s going to be a great year! #BeRoyal #BackToSchool #NewAdventure

While I’m no longer their principal, I had to celebrate “my students”. I have so much love for them, pride for them knowing all they’ve done to get here & hope for what is to come. I’m grateful to have been a part of their lives; it’s an absolute privilege. 💙❤️ #graduation

And I got to celebrate more grads at my first HBR429 graduation! Such a wonderful ceremony and loved seeing how much their principal genuinely celebrates each one of them! She’s amazing! #Royals #Graduation2025
