Students at EVE and LNHS are spending the month learning about significant Black figures, including artists, entertainers, politicians and advocates, through the power of QR codes. These QR codes link to important information and famous videos of these impactful individuals.

If you appreciate what an educator is doing for your child, tell them. You don't know how much it would mean to them right now.

As a principal, I’m supposed to be an “instructional leader.” But I told our teachers this week, that I don’t know how to do that in the middle of a pandemic. Right now is not the best time to talk about programs, plans, data points, and “best practices.” It is time to support.

I’ve been in two big meetings with my new superintendent, and in both of them he talked about loving kids. That absolutely fires me up. From a school leadership standpoint, there’s no substitute for reminding the other adults about our top priority: the STUDENTS.
