School officially starts tomorrow for the county I called home for the last 5 years. Iโve had parents calling and texting looking for me. Iโve had students find me. If I did nothing else I made an impact on their hearts. Thatโs a job well done for me. This school year, I rest.
As the 25 - 26 school year approachesโฆIโm in a โdifferentโ space. For the 1st time in a decade Iโm not feeling the mix of anxiety, dread and excitement. Itโs weird but Iโm ok! Good Luck to all the Educators out there this year!!!
Today STES students participated in State Rep. Kim Schofieldโs Pledge ๐บ๐ธ project. Our ๐บ debut will be soon on WANF, Atlanta News First! @FultonCoSchools @NPorter17 @aplatimore
We started our IB Unit w/an activity where scholars had to figure out our Central Idea. They received the central idea cut into pieces and had to form a statement that made sense and connected to the word โadaptationโ. They came up with some good ones. This was fun ๐

ALT 10 Books With Black Protagonists That Donโt Center Black Pain: There are more YA novels featuring Black protagonists than ever before, but not enough of them express the everyday joys, passions, and triumphs of the Black experience. Here are 10 books that can restore balance to your library. By Andrew Boryga.
Looking for mentorship as an adult is soo weird. As an Educator who do you look to for guidance? And how do you find them?
Iโm not waking up at 4 anymore because Iโve shut the alarm off. However waking up at 5:30 NATURALLY during Summer Break is CRAZY. My body wonโt let me sleep until 10 for NOTHING! ๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ
A good genuine friend told me โGetting into positions of power donโt change who you areโฆ they REVEAL who you areโ
