Any day there are cookie competitions in Mrs. Huerter’s classes is a good day @FTMSJaguars So many good and creative options!

What did I do with the day off? I went to SMS and renewed my MVP training! I am so thankful @theSMSD had this training today. Also great to see @SMSRaidersAD and @SMSouthTDain while I was in the building….oh and Abbey too!

One week left to register for the SME speech and debate camp! It’s for 5th through 8th graders and although we promoted this to SME feeder schools, any kids in this age range are welcome to sign up!

A Message from @YeagerBrent: I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your understanding and patience as we’ve all navigated through the extreme temperatures and record setting snowfall over the past few days. What a way to start off the new year! As a parent, I know the excitement a snow day announcement can bring to my own kids– for them, it’s like winning the weather lottery! But as a superintendent, I also know the challenges a snow day can pose for families as well as all the hard work that takes place behind the scenes to clear our 60 campuses of the snow. Thank you for your flexibility and continued support during these snowy stretches. I would be remiss if I did not give a special shout-out to our hardworking operations staff and custodians for all that you have done to make our schools accessible. Your efforts are truly appreciated. While it is not our standard practice to communicate when we anticipate school to be in session as regularly scheduled, this one feels a little different. We are excited to welcome our students and staff back to school tomorrow and I want to give everyone time to make plans to ensure you are ready for a great day of school. In addition, I wanted to share that transportation services will run as normally scheduled. However, please exercise caution and patience as our buses navigate the snowy conditions. Thank you for your continued partnership! 📷@OlatheWestOwls crew working on the snow removal! Thank you to all of our custodians and Operation Services team members. 🩶

So thankful to have @JanasCampaign @FTMSJaguars today. 2nd year they have visited. I’m thankful for every minute they’re in the building. Very thankful for our awesome FT teachers for arranging for them to come. #OPSMakeTodayCount

So excited for all our @FTMSJaguars students after I got a look at our new and improved walkway to the track. The Service Center doing quick and exceptional work! Love it! @olatheschools @TravisPalangi #OPSMakeTodayCount

Vera didn’t get to go to school today because @BriarwoodElem didn’t have power. She was not pleased. When she was able to attend a day of Volleyball Camp @FTMSJaguars it helped turn her day right around. I’m so excited she was able to participate!

Graham and I just finished Why We Love Baseball by @JPosnanski Now that Graham plays baseball he wants to learn more about it. This book was perfect to explore so many of the magic moments of the National Pastime. We both loved it!

1st appearance in the @FTMSJaguars Yearbook complete with a picture from my time at Kennedy Middle School. Oh and it’s a good one!
