YAHTZEE!!! Yep, we heard a couple kiddos yell that today at Game Club!
We made the switch this week from Scrabble to Yahtzee, from using words to using numbers, and we found out many are already Yahtzee masters! It was also nice to see masters teaching novices!

Kindness Squad put on their neon green shirts (you can 👁️ us coming 😂), got on a 🚌, & hit the road…to the High School!
The Aevidum Club invited us to their annual 5k & we had a blast. From face painting, eating Rita’s, to walking/running on a hot day, we enjoyed our “trip”!

Appreciation post for this guy @SMoyerteach89 👇🏻
As his days at Butz dwindle because of his impending retirement, it was a privilege to👂🏼to him read & chat with his class today.
My first year in the classroom was spent with him as he supported many in my classroom AND me too!

Such a special day when a former 406er comes back as @KBESPrincipal’s helper for the day and runs our Morning Meeting!
This kiddo did a superb job of being in charge and asked great questions of 406. She has become a confident little thing, which was so nice to see! ♥️

Leadership is hard. Nobody said it would be easy.
🔺When people talk about you, keep leading.
🔹When people compliment you, keep leading.
🔺When your hard work goes unnoticed, keep leading.
Why? Because we are in the kid business. Kids are the reason schools exist. It isn’t about you or me. It’s about kids. When things are good, bad or ugly, keep leading.
When we keep showing up to lead, that’s when success will follow. That’s when kids’ pathways will be redirected. And that is when we know we are changing the world.
KEEP. LEADING.
