A huge THANK YOU to Knox County Schools Maintenance Department for the beautiful painting job The Elevate Program YOU gave us a special place to do this incredible work. The @McNabbCenter and I THANK you!

The best part about my schools? The space they give me to work out of their buildings so I can be available. Ending my week Whittle Springs MS had me laughing, creating plans for kids, and able to watch amazing case managers in action.

A HUGE oh my goodness and thank you to Cory Henry and his crew for loving on our The Elevate Program cottage flower beds. The support from the community is beyond appreciated. Thank you, Corey, not just for today but for your “absolutely let’s do this” attitude from the day we met!

Thank you @mcgill_shelly for hosting KCS Gifted today at Amherst! We are all about your team mentality! This door describes us as well. Thanks for the love!

Pinch me! KCS Gifted had 𝕄𝕠𝕝𝕝𝕚𝕖 𝕊𝕖𝕒𝕪 as our IEP guide today! We are on our way to learning all about gifted IEPs and case management- and we could not have had a better teacher! Come back soon!!

I dare you to watch this and not feel a thing. I’m a puddle. I miss my babies who shouted for “mail” and “a clue”. Nick Jr. you got me w/ this one. Right when the oldest who loved her clues more than anything has left for college…a puddle. Simply a puddle. You were missed Steve!

Donuts, amazing teachers, purposeful meetings, admin working their tails off…I could have only been at Gresham yesterday! @gmprincipal always grateful to share these days with you!

Each morning Dr. Greene, Gresham Band Director plays instruments to greet kids. Today he was playing the trumpet in the RAIN, people. Things aren’t ideal these days and it’s tough. But there’s a teacher playing a trumpet in the rain. Look for the good! It’s there! @gmprincipal

It may not LOOK that beautiful…but it’s my most favorite thing right now. My tower of love from 𝕄𝕠𝕝𝕝𝕚𝕖 𝕊𝕖𝕒𝕪 is everything!

Could NOT be prouder of the work happening The Elevate Program and want it to continue. We’ve had generous start up donations, but it’s time to look at sustainability. If you would consider donating, I would be so grateful. Our kids are doing such hard work and deserve the best!

Today at The Elevate Program when it’s was earn time only ONE kiddo wanted to play with me. Sigh…I promise I’m cool!

Our new furniture is coming in The Elevate Program We are so bougie!

In case anyone was wondering we kind made 𝕄𝕠𝕝𝕝𝕚𝕖 𝕊𝕖𝕒𝕪 crazy proud when we took our IEP and used her notes and the state rubric to grow as case managers. So proud of these women.

So thankful to @CantrillJamie and my Blue Grass Elementary family for my favorite new sweatshirt. Thank you for being homemade for our KCS Gifted crew!

Earning time in the student lounge to do our work is the BEST. So proud of our Elevate students for working so hard to meet their goals!

FIRE DRILL today The Elevate Program and they nailed it! Safety first!

When you pass 30 drug screens a Smoothie from Smoothie King seems like a good start to say OMG! We are SO proud of you, our guy! Keep up the amazing work The Elevate Program

Giving our smarties for our SMART The Elevate Program kiddos! Kicking butt and taking names!

Easter Egg hunt today The Elevate Program and it was GAME ON!
