Mrs Livingston and next year’s Leadership Class... already planning for next year! That is GRIT!!!

Effective teaching is not a simple matter of executing specific behaviors & strategies, because effective teaching is grounded in human relationships. If teachers don't have sound, supportive relationships w/ their students, the effects of their instructional practices are muted.

People don't grow where they are informed; they grow where they're loved + accepted ❤️

Congrats to son-in-Law Tyson James (Aloha ‘10) who graduated from paramedic school and was asked to give the commencement speech. His themes included “service before self” and “being comfortable with discomfort”... he continues to personify Aloha Grit!

Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day. - Henri J. M. Nouwen henrinouwen #joy #everyday

Interesting ... what are the implications of this statement?

A good word for me today ...

A good word for all of us!

It’s worth following Coach Buzz Williams on Twitter but I remain a loyal and enthusiastic fan of Coach Tony Bennett and UVA M Basketball... Go Hoos!

Passion precedes GRIT...

"The great temptation is to cling in anger to our enemies and then define ourselves as being offended and wounded by them. Forgiveness, therefore, liberates not only the other but also ourselves. It is the way to freedom of the children of God." -henrinouwen

Grit extends to the marketplace

There is some wisdom in this tweet from Coach Dunlap...

Boy, do I agree with this!

Encouraging

As we start a new school year, some wise words from a very wise Warren Buffett... aren’t his “Top 7” good goals for our students?

A good thought to start my week ... may I choose the light each and every day!

Dr Duckworth is worth listening to...

Enjoying the George Fox game from the sideline... Go Bruins!

"I want this program to honor what's important to me, my faith and these young men through success and failure." - Tony Bennett 🔶⚔️🔷 #GoHoos
