Finally jumped on the Twitter wagon! Excited to be a part of this virtual PLC to learn from friends new and old!

Wishing that all people could have the opportunity to learn from confrences like this one. I don't believe that everyone knows the damage we sometimes inflict on others. We might not have the naive arguements we are having in the current political environment.

Alright folks, congrats to Eagle Nation on his win this past weekend. He said he wear it to the first football game if we can get “at least” 250 retweets. I’m sure we can CRUSH that. Let’s do it Coach Wurtz CCHS Student Council Justin Steinbrock Eric Sacco #224eagles
