Girls...can’t wait to see the finish products when their individual words are added

Boys...what does it mean to give & what could you give? “I would buy a homeless person food;....If I had a play station & an Xbox, I would give a kid who had nothing for Christmas one of them;...I would give someone a hug who needed it.” The joys of teaching Love & Compassion

You don’t need to be perfect to inspire others. Let people be inspired by how you deal with your imperfection. There is beauty in your flaws. Tamera Mowry

Honestly I forgot that it is Counselor Appreciation Week. I choose Love by “showing-up” each day in my calling...planting & watering seeds,...letting the universe do the rest. #ThankYouFredFinch

Yes, I have permission to post this message from an awesome mom. Here’s what happens when we work “together:” @BelAirBears1

Today, along with our awesome retired Adopt-A-School supporter/mentor, we discussed the importance of reading & writing in a “life skill” context of military, college, & career options. “If the computer crashes, can you read & write properly on your own?

To the secret person who is giving me daily treats, notes, & cards for counselors’ week, you are loved. Please know that I would still give 150% for this movement to keep doing so with you.💕❤️😘 @BelAirBears1

Students have been doing an excellent job discussing historical contributors!!!!

Ok wow, full heart & transparency: My grandbaby’s teacher made a surprise pop-up with a book & an Easter treat. So special on my birthday. I’ve been struggling with feeling like a great counselor in my living situation & hearing what fam’s are going thru. I hope to do more soon

Thank U Counselor Julie Grant & my kiddoooooos!

Best birthday ever....acceptance letter from UC Santa Cru. “Mom, I want to be closer but...I just want to be better than what I had.” Wow, Look @ God!

West Contra Costa teachers “in the hooooouse!!” Grateful & blessed. Happy Birthdaaaayee to meeee!

Yes, a character test for sure

Getting ready for our scholars to return!!! I can’t wait to see those little faces!!!

We are not going to build bridges just so our people can live under them. No infrastructure bill without the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill.

Kids shouldn’t quarantine @ school. Not ok. Where is the regard for educators? Do you realize that sick kids are sent to school @ times (which they themselves confirm)? Then educators/counselors either get sick or have to stay out. WE have families too. We’re NOT babysitters!!!!

And who thought that was a surprise?🤷🏽‍♀️It doesn’t matter if he does or doesn’t. Manchin isn’t the only political figure we’re watching that’s standing in the way of progress. There are many & votes will follow.
