…and what a great first day it was! So much to learn and so much to do, but all exciting stuff!

Starting my 10th year as a principal in a new school with some great people. The smiles on the first day are the best!

It was a beautiful day celebrating the bride to be!

Setting goals and reaching goals! Look at the pride on her face! Her classmates were there to cheer her on! Hard work pays off! #BravoBell

It’s those moments when you catch staff helping a child self regulate by being close, modeling, and remaining calm that truly reminds you of the amazing work that is done each day as an educator.

Be Responsible… Maple 3rd graders take care of the recycling in our school.

Teachers spend time collaborating while students explore STEM bins. Creating, working together, and having fun!

It’s not just Friday, it’s Fist Bump Friday with the soccer team!

“I get to…” I love this, Joe! A great reminder to not get bogged down by the “got to” list. It’s all about perspective. Those 320 little faces & the 50 adult faces provide lots of “get to’s” in my day. instagram.com/reel/DPTb__dEc…

Absolutely amazing pictures from the future North Olmsted Elementary School construction site! 🧡🦅

Our Maple Fall Fest was a huge success!

After students learned to identify character traits within a story,Ms Matuch then spent several minutes identifying character traits of each of her students, using strong vocabulary and a detailed explanation for each. She had their undivided attention! ❤️
