Thank you to Shelby Floyd for the message, “How to Show Love to Your Child.”
Share Your Time. Discipline With Love. Listen When Lecturing. Learn to Laugh.
A great reminder for us as educators and how we can show love to our students each day.

Growing up an IU fan, I was a big Bobby Knight fan. What sticks with me now is his focus on discipline: “Discipline is knowing what to do. Knowing when to do it. Doing it to the best of your abilities. Doing it that way every single time.” #MondayMemo

My mentor @JackParkerTCB says superstar teachers have 2 characteristics: an undying sense of hope and being a continual learner.
When we learn more, we can do more for kids.
What are you getting better at right now? #MondayMemo #DaretoDream

One thing stood out watching The Masters this weekend. Every golfer sees the shot before they swing. So, what are you seeing for yourself? A Clear vision drives growth. Are you the educator you want to be?
Great reminder from @DarrinDonnelly

“In life, you’re either growing or you’re dying.” – Lou Holtz
In education, growth isn’t about fixing failure, it’s about choosing to get better every day for our students. We can be proud of our work and still push to improve.

Last weekend at Winterfest, I was reminded that greatness is not about the spotlight. It is about service.
As educators, we have daily chances to model that for our students. #MondayMemo #GreaterThan #Winterfest

Every year I rediscover how powerful It’s a Wonderful Life really is. George Bailey reminds us that our everyday actions matter more than we think. As Clarence says, “Each man’s life touches so many other lives.” community stronger.

Last year around Thanksgiving, Carissa and I made a commitment to start working out and lifting regularly. Our goal has been to hit the gym five times a week. Some weeks we don’t quite make it, but we’ve never given up. Love this time together! Here’s to year two!
