We also popped into Tropical to visit with AP Ballard and the team. There is a lot going on at Tropical this summer! Not only are they hosting Summer SOAR, they have a number of summer camps going on as well 😎. We enjoyed the visit with the DHH classes and the other ESY classes.
Our 3rd grade Summer Reading Academy team rocks! Great job leading them @FranInFullBloom! #SOARatTropical
Couldn’t have asked for a better team. Grateful to work alongside educators who lead with heart, collaborate with purpose, and always put students first. The best teams don’t just work together—they believe in the same mission. Here’s to finishing SOAR strong! 🩷#BCPSleadership

Small tokens of appreciation go a long way! Way to go @LauraEPantin! #SOARatTropical
Went around to classrooms this morning and left a few shout-outs along the way! I love being able to recognize the amazing things happening in our classrooms every day. 👏🍎 #EdLeadership #TeacherAppreciation @BCPSLeadership

Spirit week at Tropical was a hit! In addition to all the fun that spirit week had to offer, first class instruction continued! @BCPSLeadership #SOAR

A little recognition goes a long way. 🌟 Proud to celebrate our Student of the Week winners and the positive example they set each day! Teachers nominate students weekly, and today I was able to capture a few special moments.👏 @tropicalbroward @BCPSLeadership
The leadership team is all hands on deck with reaching our promotion goal for 3rd grade. Each of us has at least one group! The goal has been set and the real work has begun!
We started pull-out reading comprehension groups today with our 3rd Grade Reading Academy students! 📚 Proud of their participation and hard work as they prepare to showcase their growth on their upcoming assessment. @BCPSLeadership
WSRA Morning News is being led by these wonderful anchors this week. When Anchor Elijah saw me, the first thing he asked was did I see him on the news. At that moment, I knew squeezing in time for our morning news was all worth it. @FranInFullBloom @BCPSLeadership
“Siri play, ‘Never Would Have Made It’ by Marvin Sapp!” Because of God and our amazing team, our first week was fantastic. To end the week, we filled each other’s cups with compliments, tied up loose ends and planned for the upcoming week.
We had an amazing week!
Week one✅
Leadership isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about showing up, listening, learning, and serving with purpose. I’m incredibly thankful for the opportunity to grow as an Intern Assistant Principal during SOAR 2026☀️📚 #destinationacademicgrowth

Principal Priester visited @AP_StephBallard on her first official day as Intern Principal at Tropical Elementary, her home away from home for the summer! Many blessings to you, Intern Principal Ballard, as you embark on a successful summer ‘abroad’!

Day 2: Staff stepped away from planning for SOAR at Tropical and indulged in lunch provided by @EquitableFin! (A big shoutout to Bryan and Angela for always supporting BCPS staff!) @BCPSLeadership ✈️🌊☀️
Yesterday was a 10/10! We welcomed staff to SOAR at @tropicalbroward. You could feel a wave of positive energy throughout the building as we began to prepare for a successful summer. “Destination: Academic Growth!”
✈️🌴🧳 @BCPSLeadership
Our team is preparing to take Tropical by storm this summer! We spent a full day planning at our site, and it was time well spent. Get ready for an adventurous summer! @FranInFullBloom
My baby crushed elementary school! I’m so proud of who she’s becoming. She came to @RockIslandElem shy and reserved, and she’s leaving The Rock as a confident leader with high expectations of herself and a strong work ethic. She’s ready for 6th grade!

Testimony Tuesday! This Tuesday we selected a few scholars to share why they love Rock Island. We look forward to meeting our new Rockets. Schedule a tour today! @browardschools @JHolness_D5 @BcpsSto #thebcpsadvantage
Every scholar counts, so everyone works!
🇭🇹 “Men anpil, chay pa lou.” 🇭🇹
Many hands make the load lighter. From administration to coaches to teachers, everyone at @RockIslandElem is all hands on deck for our scholars. ELA showed out, and Math PM3 is next. The gains are coming. Proud is an understatement. @baugh_dr90223

It’s great to know people who don’t mind giving back. I reached out to the owner of this cute ice cream truck (who I’ve known since she was 8 years old and is a product of 33311) to spoil our teachers this week. Sweet Scoops was a hit!
