Our seniors haven’t graduated in their home stadium in yrs. We outgrew that field/school by leaps & bounds. I’ve always wanted to take my #aplit class to the stadium to write about their hopes and goals in the place where they will walk across the stage for graduation & here we are! New school Day1!

This is happening. All 858 pages. It’s not like I start pre-planning for school on Tuesday or anything.

Two teacher workdays and students return on Monday. Ready for the weekend- ready for 2025! #feetupfriday

Not my best year, but I had a lot going on. My number one read was James by Percival Everett with March, The God of Small Things, and Prophet Song among the top. I’ve got high hopes for you 2025!

I am absolutely inspired by my #NCTE24 experience! So many ideas, thoughts, plans in my head all because of the great educators who shared their time and talents. And keynote Bryan Stevenson??? Oh, he reminds me that there is hope!!!
