One tree, many branches... It was so nice to get legal updates regarding SPED case law, and to see my SPED family serving students with disabilities across the metroplex at the Spring SPED Law Conference.

It was so cool to take 10 min to simply marvel at the greatness of God! My colleagues and I will be able to tell our grandkids about how we witnessed the first iphone, lived through a pandemic and witnessed the moon cover the sun for over four minutes. What a time to be alive! ❤️

When I get an opportunity to speak to an auditorium of Speducators, it is always my hope that I say something that resonates with them as educators and reminds them of our why. Ms. Stacey Justus surprised me with a SPED SWAG shirt that simply made my day! GISD Special Education #spedswag

So true. 🧡

What a dunk! Principal King handled that well!
