16 years ago I started my Master’s & then my world exploded. I gave up on a dream! 2 years ago my work bestie said.. Let’s do THIS! In May my bucket list got a ✔️! Never give up on a dream & surround yourself with people that push you to be the best version of you! #relationships

So much truth ⁦⁦⁦Thomas C. Murray⁩ 💜 We all have a hidden story that has shaped us, continues to shape us, or will shape us! Teachers and students alike carry these bricks, beautiful or broken, through the doors each day! Kindness matters! instagram.com/p/Cte_gRStiE-/…

A little quiet time in the backyard… Yep our football field is my backyard! 🎉 I don’t think I can go wrong learning from either of these two champions for kids! Zac Bauermaster and Thomas C. Murray Thanks for all the amazing insight into leadership and being authentic with kids!

Grateful for the moments and memories… Two ran 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ and one of us walked 🏃‍♀️the Colton Crusaders 5K this morning! It was a perfect morning to celebrate & remember such a sweet boy, as well as all who fought and continue to fight childhood cancer! 💙🧡💜

The theme in our small town celebration this year is Living My Best Life…… That is just what my family did after the parade today!

Truth…. You truly may never know what that moment meant to them! 💜

Every. Interaction. Matters. We don’t have to love that…we just have to acknowledge that it’s real. Have a great week, everyone!!! #LeadFromWhereYouAre

It was an honor to get to share my story through education with Rural Schools Association of NY as the NREA Rural TOY! And.. I couldn’t agree more Thomas C. Murray 🤗 meeting you was definitely a huge highlight of the conference! Beyond grateful for you and your friendship! Keep shining friend!

Just heard this on the radio and thought it was so appropriate for the start of a new school year or just to remember as life throws us the hard hits or even the best days Don’t give up because the person you are becoming needs the person you are working on now! Keep Shining!

So much truth in this.. Watching your kids thrive in the lives they have with God by their side is one of the most beautiful parts of parenting!!!!

The leader of our home is 18 years sober today! 💜 What the world said cancel, God said watch what I can do! ✝️

Hey Thomas C. Murray had the best morning learning from your buddy & our keynote speaker, Joe Sanfelippo, at the NRCSA conference in Nebraska! Just want to let you know… He speaks truth because that 30 second interaction in Cooperstown has changed my life! Keep shining friend!

What a way to start the day!!! Thanks Joe Sanfelippo for the much needed boost to finish the rest of the year! Oh… and you speak truth! A 30 second interaction can change someone’s world!! Keep shining and changing lives one educator at a time!

Carb loading for my morning Keynote tomorrow morning! I will have the endurance and energy of my daughter that runs the 10k in college right!?!?!? Be ready NETA… this fourth grade teacher is gonna bring you all the emotions Beyond the Whiteboard!

The hidden stories we all carry around would surprise many if they found out! Handle all packages, with care bc you don’t know the story behind it! This… this could be your student, friend, or boss!

What an AMAZING conference NETA 2025 was! So many tools for tomorrow were gained! 💜 Thank you NETA for giving me opportunity to share how a 6 year old changed my life in ways I never knew I needed! Take their bricks! 🧱Build Relationships! 👩🏼‍🎓Tomorrow isn’t a Guarantee! ☀️

5/21/03, I lost a student. 22 years later, I’m closing another school year with kids who’ve learned more than math-we’ve learned about each other. Cookies or ice cream, summer or winter, we’ve grown. Thank you sweet Hallie. You live in my ❤️ and my classroom, always! 💜
