Still surreal to see principal next to my name. So blessed to serve in my role at Lakeview! These last 6 months have been amazing and was reminded this week to always stay grounded in my why of inspiring and encouraging others. “Every Learner, Every Day, What ever it takes!”

Find something to be thankful for in every situation.

Today, instead of focusing on the challenge in front of you... choose to look for the opportunity. Ask yourself what this circumstance is teaching you. Identify how you can grow stronger and wiser from it. You can live in fear or move forward with faith and positive actions.

When the tough stuff that happens precludes us from seeing the amazing things in front of us we get further from the reason we love the job and closer to the reason that we don’t. So…Look up! Chase the smiles! #LeadFromWhereYouAre #HackingLeadership

Embrace adversity and make failure a regular part of your life.

If you’re not failing, you’re probably not really moving forward.

Best of the best! Zach is special and is all in for kids and cares so deeply about others! Great guy and so blessed to have him at McKinley!

Your growth is determined by who you are when the going gets tough, your discipline when you feel like quitting, and your courage to lean into the uncomfortable.

If you're in the process right now, good. It's your opportunity to grow.

Tag a friend who needs this encouragement!

Look around your school community, and you'll find leaders everywhere.

(Reminder via leader Sarah Sirgo, Ph.D.)

🤩 Self-regulation is not something #students have or lack—it is something we develop over time, and some of us need targeted instruction to acquire. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Educators #UDL #TeacherTwitter

Perfect reminder as we approach Thanksgiving break!

Just so grateful to get to serve as Principal at Lakeview! Check out this week's staff update!

Culture isn't just some cool poster on the wall or a well-written message to the team. Your culture are the behaviors, decisions, and habits the entire group has on a daily basis. Your culture (good or bad) is lived out and demonstrated daily.

I was invited into a classroom where a student added me to his all about me poster.

We don’t always get to see the difference we make, but keep fighting the good fight. #everylearnereveryday

What about the other kids in the room? – This beautiful article captures the essence of this work as we fight for every learner, and everyday! unconditionallearning.org/2023/02/01/wha…
