Can’t believe we even have to say this, but: if you just went to the Senate floor and blocked benefits for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits while serving our country in a war zone, you are wrong.
Meet Robert Weldon. @MrRobWeldon will serve as my right hand/our school’s Assistant Principal. His coaching background, appetite for learning, and deep seeded beliefs around justice are just a few reasons why he is THE perfect addition to Lyons Farm Elementary-Welcome Mr. Weldon!

This week the principals came to our rooms to give us a break while they did an activity with our kids. I came back and the kids each said one thing they love about me! My teacher heart is so happy ❤️ #teachertwitter
Hopefully, none of you are seeing any of my tweets today because you're in a forest somewhere reading Thic Nhat Hnah next to a babbling brook. @Feelingdps out.
