Self-love is revolutionary. We cannot fight for others when we're fighting a war inside ourselves. Compassion is a power that we first bestow on ourselves & then give away through our actions—to people, to our planet. When we recognize this, that is when love becomes our legacy.

Standardized tests have never been valid or reliable measures of what students know and are able to do, and they are especially unreliable now.

We are fortunate to have Matt de Ferranti as a guest in 7th grade social studies APSGunston One of our amazing students was the mastermind behind this special event! The conversation Ss are having with Mr. de Ferrari is incredible! #onegunston #gunstonpride

This is one of the best things I’ve seen in a long, long time.

The highlight of my day was honestly when WramirezSPN came by to visit and play in my office apothecary. #sorrynotsorry #adminlife #numberone #selfcare I wish I had photo or better yet video proof.

Take care of you!
