Just when I felt like I’ve come to terms with 2020, this happens. 🙄

Thank you for sharing!

Grace. My word for the 2020-2021 school year and heck for the rest of 2020. We got this!

This display is one of the first things I see everyday when I walk into school. What a great reminder. I know folks need it after day 1 of virtual learning. If you need to hear it again, “You got this! We got this!”

I agree!! I’m going to play that background music when I lead my next meeting. 😊

Remember how I said grace was going to be my word for this year? Well, some days are better than others, but today I received a good reminder to remember to act on this word. Friendly reminder to all of us to act out this word even when times are tough.

I haven’t tweeted in awhile for various reasons, but found this segment on CBS Sunday Morning a worthy reminder of the human connection we all share.

If you are inspired enough to share a quote by #MLK today... the real question is are you willing to live out those words tomorrow? #mlkday (artwork by IG: dreasdoodles)

Spent most of my spring break outside. It’s just what I needed to finish the school year strong.

An awesome afternoon with Raleigh's Rolling Readers giving away over 4,000 books to WES students to add to their home libraries this summer!

Just what I need to hear today.♥️

It’s the little things y’all. Shout out to my colleagues for the surprise above my door, a reminder to “Believe.”

Remember it's educators that are going to be with students tomorrow. Trying to figure out the right thing to say. Trying to provide support. Trying to navigate the unthinkable.

Holding my Washington family and our #WizKids extra close today 💙💛

Important to keep in mind! 🙌
