Senior parking spot painting time! When a “simple” idea became not so simple. Cherishing this time with my big boy though! Wouldn’t trade it for the world. It’s also keeping my chiropractor in business! 😂 #classof2025

Kicked off the inaugural class of Advanced Academic Science with one of my favorite lessons, “Magic or Science”. Do I have telekinesis? Is this really flammable powdered unicorn horn? Only credible sources can prove me wrong! @WestwoodJH_RISD @mottram_katie @RichardsonISD

What fun it was to talk to fellow secondary teachers about how to best showcase student art by learning to use our mat cutters effectively. Even if it meant doing math in front of an audience! Thank you @Artk12RISD for giving us time to collaborate!#risdartmatters #RISDBeTheOne

I am amazed at the levels of support that are provided to new teachers by @Artk12RISD. No teacher should feel like an island and I am grateful to be able to lead and support our wonderful new JH/MS art teachers. It’s going to be a great year. #risdbetheone #risdartmatters

This has been the best conference I’ve ever attended and now have SO many strategies and ideas to help ALL students and teachers - but most importantly, it’s reignited my SPARK!
