Dr. Erika Garcia Will you please share my wishlist? As we approach the end of the school year, I would love to recognize students with a medal for their academic achievements.

Such an amazing choice. Such an amazing human.

I'm supposed to be speaking at an event on Saturday.

Do I have a speech prepared? No.

But do I have 17,247 outfits? Yes.

This is who I am.

I'm looking for five Principals to have on my podcast to talk leadership, school and all the things....who do you recommend?

Thanks in advance!

One thing I've learned as a principal is that a lot of work goes into art shows. I've made it a habit of covering art class so our art teacher can have some uninterrupted time during the week to prepare during the school day. As an added bonus, I get to teach art. Win-Win.

I am such a words person. Messages like this from our staff make the hard days and the hard situations feel bearable. I know I'm the lucky one.

Making the lives of our staff easier is certainly what I strive to do. But building enough trust for staff to tell me what they need in order to make their lives easier is my ultimate goal.

I saw three students in the wild today. And all three gave me a huge hug. Living where I work has its perks.

The smell may never leave me.

Go, Ed!

The good thing about knowing I'm getting a pie in the face today is that it made my morning routine so much easier.

I was problem solving with a 1st grader. He asked me if his brain was small. I told him that his brain is the perfect size and it keeps growing every single day. To which he replied.

'That's good because it's already full of memories, and I still feel like collecting more.'
