For all behavior issues today, I will accept “The blue Supermoon made me do it.” Stay strong, educators.

My favorite staff-wide game started today, Ragnar Games (basically Clue and tag put together). Here’s to a month of silliness, sneakiness, giggles, and the occasional scream from a teacher running away from their foe.

Welcoming students to school while watching the balloons was the cutest way to start a Friday.

A much deserved win for our Education Support Personnel! We can’t run our schools without them! So happy to hear this news today!

Massive thanks to former Traner Viking Armon Johnson for visiting our students today. Such an inspiration for our kids. This student won a basketball because of all his hard work in classes. Armon signed it and then had our student sign it too. I’ve never seen a smile so big.

I don’t have a favorite student, but I do have a favorite French foreign exchange student! A decade after being her English teacher, Aurélie came back to Reno and asked me to coffee. Mais, oui! 🇫🇷

A huge thank you to Reno Ford for surprising our teachers with an incredible breakfast and a $150 gift card for EACH teacher! Teachers were over the moon. ❤️🖤 Ford Motor Company

The cheer that went up at school when teachers heard they were getting a 20% raise over the next two years brought me to tears. They deserve this so, so much. 🍎

Sports day at school. Team Taylor showed up to play.

Mom: What time is it? Dad: Taylor Swift’s game starts in one hour.

Hey City of Reno and Mayor Hillary Schieve can we pretty please get the soccer goals back on the Traner field? Our students LOVE playing everyday at lunch and hearing them cheer for each other when they score is the best! ⚽️🥅❤️🖤

So excited to build a peer mentor program at Traner with scholars from Innovations High School! AND I get to build it with my educator bestie, Protz! Let the magic begin! ✨

I love watching first year teachers play and experiment! Shoutout to Ms. Howard for designing an insanely engaging lesson about WW1!

Happy Halloween, Educators! Remember to play, and laugh, and embrace the spooky. We’ve got this! 🎃👻

Love a staff that’s up for shenanigans! Minions everywhere plus a few other friends.

I am so impressed with the kindness, leadership, sportsmanship, and intelligence of this young man! Go Vikings!

I’m asking for $9 donations to help inspire and motivate my Title I middle schoolers! W. Kamau Bell DonorsChoose donorschoose.org/project/knowle…

Wait With Wonderful is an incredible book for kids who may need a little help navigating difficult life situations. My dad wrote it and it is truly wonderful. Available now at all major booksellers. kolotv.com/video/2024/06/…
