Doubling down on some final edits with filmmakers on this What's the Story? film about gentrification from Chelsea High School (MA). It’s so close! Premieres in one week along with 9 other films.

Every one of these filmmakers is an amazing, unique person, full of incredible knowledge that no one else has on this Earth, with stories to tell and opinions to share. Give yourself a gift and take some time to see their work.

I’m excited to start this AP role at CCS and sad to leave SCS & so many wonderful people. “One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.” ~Abraham Maslow vtcng.com/thecitizenvt/c…

Current reading Peter Liljedahl’s Building Thinking Classrooms, inspired by his session at last year’s NCSM conference and moving to a new school where some teachers have reimagined what learning looks like based on this book. I’m three chapters in and hooked! #cvsdvt #k12math

Lots of love for the continued work here:

Today was my last school day as Assistant Principal at Charlotte Central School. I’ve so enjoyed working with Jen, and I’ll miss her dearly. Yet, I take great solace in knowing I will continue to work with the caring and committed CCS staff. charlottenewsvt.org/2024/12/12/new… #cvsdvt

🗻❄️ Yesterday, the windchill disappeared when we hit the woods and the trees protected us, so an intrepid group of second graders could spend an hour exploring Pease Mountain in the snow and having a blast. 🗻❄️ #cvsdvt

It’s been a trip these last twelve school days. Grateful to be part of this community and the important work we’re doing together at CCS. Looking forward to what’s ahead! First day of school picture included. charlottenewsvt.org/2025/01/16/new… #cvsdvt

Today’s moment of zen.

It’s been so cool to work with Becky and know she’s inspired to work with her students on this project. 😎
