One of the best events of our school… Veterans Day Field of Valor, recognizing those who serve or have served our nation. 2001 flags with special honor to California Medal of Honor recipients including Covina’s own Donald Evans.

Inspired after the @AMLE Conference. I had the privilege of joining a panel w/ the @ConstitutionCtr enjoyed presenting w/@SarahEHarris2 on one of my passions: Civil Dialogue. Middle school is often underestimated, yet this conference showcased just how pivotal these years are.

Working with @ASUCivics on their Civic Literacy lessons has been extremely rewarding! Our team created lessons aimed at increasing civic knowledge and ensuring students could pass citizenship tests. Look @scottmpetri and @eduprotocols! Fast and Curious for the win!

Just look at the talent in Room 20!!! Students choose how to show what they learned about a person or group who used the power of dissent to make change. Thank you @ryoung03 Dr. Ralph for inspiring our students! #ChoiceAndVoice

EQ: How has dissent impacted America? Should there be limits on dissent? SS quotes: 1. Dissent formed our country improved it. 2.MLK protested peacefully effectively. It can be done. 3. Seeing violence on SM other places can open our eyes force us to figure out a new way.

Incredible drawing, painting, and storytelling by students in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month. Students were inspired by @duncantonatiuh ’s book Separate Is Never Equal. Use of watercolors and @eduprotocols Sketch and Tell strategies for the win!#Dissent

Impactful meeting Kristin Clark, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice @ConstitutionCtr. “The Justice Department advocates for teachers to use their voices to promote change and reduce prejudices and bias.” #NCCed
