Hey Broken Arrow High School Seniors - you had us laughing this morning! We’ve moved some of your tape and signs to Senior Office in B - come get a pic!

Tulsa pals - our friend Bristol is opening his BBQ truck! Chef and I are VERY picky about our BBQ (we met about the time his ribs won a National championship) & Country Q BBQ is good stuff. Follow them on Instagram & Facebook to find where they will be!

Yadi is not thrilled that Mom is pulling out the “blue bag” since it means I’ll be going through research instead of snuggling after work. Chapter 1 needs sending off for approval by next week #futuredrpresley #almostdone

When you are far enough into research that the articles start referencing each other, you start to feel like you’ve hit a Twilight Zone level of the grad school experience. Also #heyIknowthatguy @dankrutka and crew moments

JJ is 1,000% the real deal when it comes to improving #schoolculture. He’s always said, “It’s tough to hate someone whose story you know.” & his events are built around that - learning each other’s stories & making connections. #edchat Ignite2Unite.com

Taking the Gremlins to their first arena concert & it being two boss female lead bands warms this mama’s rock loving heart 😍 #BABbands Lzzy Hale is a particular fav of Gremlin 1

This. I’ll repeat my own version: you can train for skills, you can’t train for personality. You are building a team, a family when you hire. The wrong personality can be a cancer to culture.

Tues, I interviewed. I was distracted, rocked from a call, walked into what I SHOULD have expected …but was disappointed in seeing b/c I wanted ...different. I wanted “walk the talk” & got tradition. So, I knew as walked in, it would be “no”. Today - this. ❤️ #reset #mywhy

Round 2 of 3 to see Lzzy Hale with Gremlin 1 - STL, Tulsa & again to wrap up summer with Taylor Momsen ❤️ Not going to lie - told Gremlin she could have Dad’s ticket if the grades came up (was planning to take the kid all along 😉).

I’ve l written letters for 100% scholarship, but this? This is amazing for how it targets specific kids & supports the student in more than financial ways. If Tulsa area Univ aren’t already doing something similar, they should! OK State Dept of Ed Oklahoma State Univ. source.wustl.edu/2022/05/colleg…

Interesting. Some call my office “busy” (adults). More (mostly Ss) point out the unusual/ask Qs about items - 1,000 paper cranes gift from Atomic Survivors, pic of my dogs, an award/diploma. I do lean to “value/different” > thematic. Hrm…

Boo weather. Gremlin & I were looking forward to The Pretty Reckless & one more round of Halestorm before it’s back to classes, but lightening + outdoor venues are a no-go. Until our next chance! #mommyandmetime #girlsofrockandroll

What are the odds? A metropolitan area of roughly 8 million people, I now live nearly 400 miles away… & I a woman’s name that stands out in my memories as a mama to two really fabulous students from my early teaching years. Jean, my heart shatters for your family 💔

I’ve been in Education 20 years. Then last decade with BA Public Schools at Broken Arrow High School & best welcome back speaker in all 20 years! #IBelieve #BATID

At Broken Arrow High School, US History teacher Philip Hadley sparked a thrilling investigation after a lesson on the Oklahoma City bombing. Checkout the ArrowVision story with Dan Hawk.

Drive to @walmartAMP to see Stone Temple Pilots on their Jubalee Tour - hey Cain's Ballroom , check out the tee the drummer from Live is wearing. #tulsa

After one heck of a rough few weeks Tom Morello gives exactly the kind of commentary to remind me of my “why”. That the best disruption occurs from within. Thank you Woody Guthrie Center for an amazing night ❤️
