Loved spending the day with my fellow West Virginia @Milken Educators and other great friends serving as judges at the WV Educators Rising State Leadership Conference being held at Canaan Valley. They even asked me to give the keynote address which was a great opportunity.

This was on the front page of the local newspaper when I returned from CA. What a fun surprise. I'm so glad that some of my current and former students were able to attend the WV Milken Forum—and I'm even more excited that they want to be WV teachers. #wvmilkenforum #teachwv
