Meet Robert Weldon. @MrRobWeldon will serve as my right hand/our school’s Assistant Principal. His coaching background, appetite for learning, and deep seeded beliefs around justice are just a few reasons why he is THE perfect addition to Lyons Farm Elementary-Welcome Mr. Weldon! – at Grapevine, TX

Wonderful!
This week the principals came to our rooms to give us a break while they did an activity with our kids. I came back and the kids each said one thing they love about me! My teacher heart is so happy ❤️ #teachertwitter
