We’ve mastered the art of Back to School pictures! The night before. 😊 The last year these two will be in the same building until B’s senior year. She keeps him safe, he keeps her wild, and they both make us very proud. 6th & 3rd grade, they’re ready for you! 🩵💛💙

The butterflies the night before we get kids will forever be one of my favorite parts of working in education… Ready to make it a great year with (and for) these people! 🩵💛💙

Capping off a very successful first full week of school roadtrippin’ with my little sister! Volume at max, belting every lyric - the only way to do it. #TGIF

Next time we compare America’s education performance w/ other countries, let’s also compare time other countries’ educators spend preparing for school shootings. Left our district safety mtg thankful for a district that prioritizes our safety, sad our country won’t do the same.

12 years ago, she drove 3.5 hrs without hesitation to save me from deep in the trenches of postpartum. Last night, we got to celebrate this beautiful human. Baby H hit the mama jackpot. 💛

Love a Kansas sunset. Love the girl that chases them even more. Sweetest of the sunflowers, she’s the sun to me. 🌅

All my weekends spent chasing both my #3s to every field this side of the Mississippi, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. The good life. 💛🩵💙

Hayden Grimes puts it away for Andale to become 4A State Champs!! I used to love watching the players… now I watch their moms. What a special moment.

It's time to remove laptops from classrooms. 24 experiments: Students learn more and get better grades after taking notes by hand than typing. It's not just because they're less distracted—writing enables deeper processing and more images. The pen is mightier than the keyboard.

Grateful for these three that roll their eyes, but still always smile for my family picture requests… and extra grateful to knock out the family picture early so we can change into comfy clothes by kickoff. Go Chiefs!

All State recognition for Griffin Galyon! 1st team is a great accomplishment, well deserved Griff, congratulations!

12 Days of Christmas for staff starts tomorrow! Grateful for my girl… the best elf this side of the Mississippi. ☺️
