What are the odds? A metropolitan area of roughly 8 million people, I now live nearly 400 miles away… & I a woman’s name that stands out in my memories as a mama to two really fabulous students from my early teaching years. Jean, my heart shatters for your family 💔

Boo weather. Gremlin & I were looking forward to The Pretty Reckless & one more round of Halestorm before it’s back to classes, but lightening + outdoor venues are a no-go. Until our next chance! #mommyandmetime #girlsofrockandroll

Interesting. Some call my office “busy” (adults). More (mostly Ss) point out the unusual/ask Qs about items - 1,000 paper cranes gift from Atomic Survivors, pic of my dogs, an award/diploma. I do lean to “value/different” > thematic. Hrm…

I’ve l written letters for 100% scholarship, but this? This is amazing for how it targets specific kids & supports the student in more than financial ways. If Tulsa area Univ aren’t already doing something similar, they should! OK State Dept of Ed Oklahoma State Univ. source.wustl.edu/2022/05/colleg…

Round 2 of 3 to see Lzzy Hale with Gremlin 1 - STL, Tulsa & again to wrap up summer with Taylor Momsen ❤️ Not going to lie - told Gremlin she could have Dad’s ticket if the grades came up (was planning to take the kid all along 😉).

Tues, I interviewed.
I was distracted, rocked from a call, walked into what I SHOULD have expected …but was disappointed in seeing b/c I wanted ...different. I wanted “walk the talk” & got tradition. So, I knew as walked in, it would be “no”. Today - this. ❤️

This. I’ll repeat my own version: you can train for skills, you can’t train for personality. You are building a team, a family when you hire. The wrong personality can be a cancer to culture.

Taking the Gremlins to their first arena concert & it being two boss female lead bands warms this mama’s rock loving heart 😍 #BABbands Lzzy Hale is a particular fav of Gremlin 1

JJ is 1,000% the real deal when it comes to improving #schoolculture .

He’s always said, “It’s tough to hate someone whose story you know.” & his events are built around that - learning each other’s stories & making connections. #edchat

❤️ how Broken Arrow High School staff kept Ollie the Tiger moving (& gaining props) as they nominated the next staff member to get him in 2021! It all began with giving him a mask...then an ID, his own book, sanitizer & cloth, art, easel, & crown. 🖤💛🖤💛 #Culture #BATID BA Public Schools
