Two years ago tornadoes tore through our neighborhood. It was terrifying and we were so blessed to be spared the destruction so many in our community faced. Extra grateful for a beautiful day today and a community that shows up for one another #NashvilleStrong #EastNashville

It's one of the best weeks of the year! Teachers deserve more than a week of appreciation, but it's important to celebrate all they do for students - and the world! Thankful that I get to work with and learn from teachers regularly. Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek. #ThankaTeacher

As my time National Institute for Excellence in Teaching draws to a close this week & I step away to other opportunities, I am humbled by the professionalism, student-outcomes focus, & heart of our team & partners. I’m proud of all we accomplished together & know the future for kids is brighter b/c of their work

Every student deserves a safe learning environment. Every parent deserves to send their child to school free from fear for their safety. My heart breaks for Uvalde and for the too many students and families whose trust and safety in school has been shattered by violence

It's been a heavy week--multiple tragedies in my hometown of Memphis and hearing the news of the loss of a former co-worker. Sending my love to all my #901 friends and my former National Institute for Excellence in Teaching family ❤️

📢District leaders, check out this idea by Tipton Co Schools Highlighting the outcomes and careers of their grads. Love this idea by John Combs and team. #endlesspossibilities
