This week was hard and emotional. We all miss school. We’re all a little nervous. But we’re doing it. I read an article about how teachers might be grieving and a line stood out to me. It said, “You can call it work, but really it’s loving. We know you had more loving to do.” 😢

Is enforcing a mask any different from enforcing dress code? edweek.org/ew/articles/20…

So proud of my husband Jason Kopp for being named the SMS teacher of the year! You see him working hard at school, but I see him working hard all the time for his students! Well deserved! Congratulations to all the honorees!

#1 in Sussex County and in the top 10% nationally. It takes an entire community to support excellent students, teachers, and schools! patch.com/new-jersey/hop…

This idea of not wanting students to read books that may be upsetting is so unsettling. We should read books that challenge us, upset us, and push us in our thinking. Once we start reading only texts we agree with or make us feel good, we are entering dangerous territory.

First time this has happened at an induction! It made us smile and laugh!

The amazing Sparta Education Fnd has granted SHS books that will allow us to offer more diversity in literature! This is only half of them!! So excited! Thank you! We can’t wait to dig in! Brent Rivers @tararossi

Proud of @spartakeyclub who donated and helped organize @bennysbodega! Together, we can make a difference!

My spring break plans! #Reading

The next part of my grant from Sparta Education Fnd is here!! Lots of choice for the students. Handing these out next week! Brent Rivers
