Our pursuit has to be elevating others to see the many paths in front of them to be more, do more, learn more and realize more in this world. When we empower a learner we change their life. When we empower all learners we change the world. Peace friends. #fridaymorning

Excellence never was an accident it takes purpose and vision

Please join me on thanking all of our contact tracers. Most have worked throughout winter break focusing mostly on reported cases among staff. I so appreciate this team!

Learning is first and foremost an opt-in activity. How do we get kids to choose learning?

If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward. If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way. —Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. #MLK

When others say you can't know that you can. The greatest power we have is the imagination to see other ways. Share your vision and solicit others too. Being a dreamer is great, but building a sustainable team of them is power and purpose. #MondayMotivation

Congratulations to our U-46 Blue Stars A Team who won gold at a recent tournament in Cicero. They now move to the state competition at Illinois State University in March. Thanks also Coach Brooke McGrath! Give them a like! School District U-46

This little one backed right in to Dr. Josh Carpenter’s lap for a snuggle, snack and a book at Learning On the Go in Buena Vista this afternoon. Children know when you care. School District U-46 #2000daysbirthtokindergarten #learningonthego #learningstartsatbirth #kindergartenreadiness

April Wells, the Gifted Coordinator for School District U-46 was a hit today with the water balloons at Learning On the Go. Which administrator is coming to Buena Vista next time to offer a lap, hug and dance moves? #learningthroughplay #schoolreadiness School District U-46 @TonySandersU46

Day 4 Equity Symposium:Thank you Pedro Noguera for engaging with us around "Supporting Boys and Young Men of Color, Inside and Outside of School". Love the concept of a "social immune system" within our schools. What is your school "way?" Powerful & Inspired #U46EquityMatters
