Officially became Dr. Jason Eaton at the end of June, but yesterday I finally got to walk across the stage. I didnโ€™t do this for my masterโ€™s, so Iโ€™m glad I got to experience it this time. It was great having Cyndi, the kids, my parents, and my in laws there.

He is risen. The stone is rolled away. Hope is alive, grace is here, and love has already won. โ€œWhy do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen!โ€ โ€” Luke 24:5โ€“6 โœ๏ธ

10 books finished this month. Part of my goal this year is to read one NF each month. Last month was The No Complaining Rule- excellent- looking for NF recommendations for this month.

Some days or even weeks can be hard leading a school. But moments like Friday, when we come together every six weeks to celebrate our growth and accomplishments remind me exactly why this work matters. Stronger together. Family forever. ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿ’š #SchoolLeadership #StrongerTogether

Before I took this job, @JasonEaton21 gave me some of the best advice. โ€œLeave your office often and remind yourself why this work matters.โ€ If you want clarity, go stand where the work is real.

These two pages will slap you in the face- Leaders must establish boundaries. Thank you @DrBradJohnson for gifting me this book. So many takeaways from โ€œRoom 212โ€ but this one was particularly important for me right now.
