When CUSD schools work together 🤝 @KnoxGifted 5th/6th graders learned about 100 years of history from different decades with @WillisFirebirds STEAM Academy students. Following the classroom interactions, students took part in a “Decades Dance” in the gym. #WeAreChandlerUnified

We lift our gazes not To what stands between us,
But what stands before us. We close the divide, Because we know to put Our future first, we must first Put our differences aside.

“A fish out of water.” I had students share a reflection after the latest Unit Test. This one will sit with me for too long.

When Amanda Gorman, a 22-year-old poet from Los Angeles, took to the stage, it was immediately clear why President Biden had chosen her as his inaugural poet. Watch her reading of "The Hill We Climb": trib.al/00BLGpz

Be present - that means no overthinking, future projecting or ruminating. Being present in hard times is no more than agreeing that what is happening is happening. Accepting that we're in it whether we like it or not saying "Yes this is so and this is hard but I'm present"

More than anything else, teachers want their students to be successful. And right now, many students are struggling, despite the best efforts of teachers. I know this thing is hard on students...but it is also taking an emotional toll on teachers who are desperate to help them.

Have you made your voting plan yet? Making a voting plan is exactly what it sounds like: figuring out where & how you're going to vote ahead of time! This year it’s more important than ever to understand all of your options, make a plan, and follow through! #NVEW2020 #VoteReady

A shock. A sadness. A great loss. The passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg leaves a hole in a nation already reeling. She is an American hero, in every sense. We can honor her by joining to carry forth her legacy of equality, empathy, and justice. May she Rest in Peace.

"If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person."

#Hate doesn't happen overnight but slowly builds. Our mistake:not catching it when it starts. Laws don't change hate, but #parenting can. DEMAND that your child treat everyone with dignity & model it! That's how we make a kinder world that ALL kids deserve.
