BREAKING: CNN just played a montage of all the Republican leaders from Trump’s past administration voting against him. Retweet to ensure all Americans know the individuals who worked closest to Trump know enough to vote against him.

When I was a building principal, we had a group of boys who were consistently getting office referrals during lunch for aggressive and disruptive behaviors. In the past, these behaviors had led to increasingly severe consequences that did not reduce the negative behaviors (and caused some students to be sent home and to miss instruction). I sat down with the group and we worked together to come up with a plan on what to do during lunch. One of the boys asked if we could start a knitting club, since his Auntie had recently taught him how to knit. Since he was a leader of the group, the other boys agreed. I asked them to come back tomorrow with some ideas of what to knit. The next day one of the boys said that he wanted to knit little hats for the preemies at the hospital, since his little cousin was there and that a nurse mentioned that they had run out of the little hats. The boys knitted daily and we delivered the hats to the hospital. We received many heartfelt thank you notes from families, nurses and doctors (and even an in-person visit with a personal thank you and cookies from a newborn's mom). This group continued to grow as did our ability to create knitted hats for preemies. This became a huge success for the participating students. There was significant improvement in the students’ behavior, attitude, achievement, and attendance. It is so important to think outside of the box for “win-win” solutions. It really isn’t the WHAT you do that is important, it is the WHY you are doing it! Our knitting group become a team, family, and community. #maslowbeforebloom

Excellent week with @dodeagrants in Derby, KS. We saw so many ways the district supports military-connected kids, visited local industry, collaborated with each other, and discussed how we can inspire kindness as we return home. Thanks again @MCASPDerbyKS for a great week!

If you're wondering about the "why" of eSports - let the @FSHISD students educate you. Dynamic. Inclusive. Articulate. Impressive. @sjhkershner @mrtoblerstech @JDaileyPerkins @dodeagrants @CyberBytesFound
