When a student gives you a rubber band bracelet, you wear it. 🥰

Proud of the FCPS students who spoke in support of trans and gender-expansive rights in our schools at the school board meeting tonight! FCPS Pride Fairfax Schools 🌟 Pride Liberation Project

Shout out to FCPS for standing up for our transgender and gender-expansive students and staff! fcps.edu/news/fairfax-c…

It came up in our Equity PD today that so many historical sources are written from a Eurocentric point of view, and Columbus Day was a prime example of that. I'm thankful that we are learning to look for other viewpoints and incorporate those into our teaching.

🥰 Thankful to be at a school where equity trainings and discussions are received with open minds and open hearts!

Twinning with a student today! ❤️👟 @fairfax_villa

We wish a fun Diwali to all celebrating! Diwali is a festival of lights and one of the major festivals celebrated by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs & some Buddhists. The festival represents the symbolic victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. #OurFCPS

When we change our mindset from a deficit-based attitude about our students to an asset-based attitude about our students, we open up infinite possibilities for their future.

Happy Storybook Character Day! We're having a great time celebrating stories at @fairfax_villa today!

One of my favorite FB memories each year. I'm happy to report that the student is now a 5th grader and just as fun as ever. 🤣

So excited about all the items collected during our food drive last week! Now we're working on sorting and packing boxes! @fairfax_villa @MrGerstner_FCPS #VillaSCA #SmallSchoolBigHeart #thankful

Great Equity Lead PD tonight with @mjgomez9 and Fairfax Schools Equity and Cultural Responsiveness! I really appreciated the choice session on family involvement!

Ms. Rivera's class had a blast playing singing games today! Everyone had a turn as a solo singer. Alexis Rivera @MrGerstner_FCPS @fairfax_villa

Waiting for my takeout at Chipotle, and one of the workers just came over and asked if I'm the Ms. Gaskins that taught at Fairfax Villa. It was one of my former students!!!! I love these moments!

Lizzo playing the same kind of recorder my students use! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰🥰
