One year ago today, my life changed for the better. Now, I can’t imagine my life any differently. Happy birthday to my main man Jordan. 💪🏻🔥

We made it through our first two weeks of school and Virtual Learning! The students requested 15 minutes to read to end today’s class! Can’t wait to see some of their faces in person on Monday!📚#bookworms Barkalow Middle School
