This made my night! Wish I was with you all at this conference! They’re going to be incredible educators- far better than me!

I may not be on the moon, much to my daughter’s dismay, but I’m excited to be at Space Camp with the @ccsso State Teachers of the Year! SD Dept of Education #ntoy22 #sdtoy22

Whoooo, @nancy_quinlan! Proud of my #NTOY22 cohort!

Teamwork is key…Harmony! Loved spending the last five days with this team SpaceCampUSA #ntoy22 #iatoy

Last day of Space Camp Education- These experiences with these people have stretched my thinking and perspectives more than any other professional development. They’re making me grow. Love my CCSSO 2022 NSTOY Cohort! SD Dept of Education #ccsso #ntoy22 #sdtoy22

Meeting the SD Regional Teachers of the Year SD Dept of Education, being on this side of those interviews, was exciting and humbling and emotional (who would have guessed I would cry)! One of these outstanding educators will be named 2023 SD Teacher of the Year in 3 short months! #sdtoy22

Extra special was my impromptu meeting with Secretary Tiffany Sanderson today. So thankful for this woman’s encouragement, support, and wisdom in my career. Have I said how much this experience has changed my life? It has. ❤️

Thankful for relationship built across the country this year and @artroomhijinks giving our CCSSO 2022 NTOY Cohort a platform to share our passions! #ntoy22 #sdtoy22

“Making the right decision for one student is the right decision for all students.” Sarah Brown Wessling taught me to lean on the wisdom of others and find comfort in using my voice to help one student at a time. Happy birthday to the teacher of all teachers! #becauseofsarah #hbdsarah
