Day 5: I am so thankful for my administrative assistants, Brenda and Macheal. They took me under their wing when I arrived at Hagemann this summer. They have wonderful relationships with students, staff, and parents. We make a great team. #msdr9

Day 6: I read this book for one of my classes and the message was extremely powerful for me and I look forward to bringing this message to my school community. #msdr9

It’s tough right now. We are showing up imperfectly, but we are showing up. We are feeling ineffective, but we are learning and trying. We are insecure and uncertain, but we care deeply. My hope for all educators this weekend is that you rest and feel how deeply you matter.

We sometimes hear that Mehlville School District is top-heavy. What I see each day (admin pulling 60-80 hour weeks) and these numbers from Missouri DESE -- tell an accurate story. Our student-to-admin ratio is 60% ⬆️ than state average. #msdr9
