So thankful for this group of truly exceptional young adults. It’s nice when the best part of the day intersects with the most productive - the feedback and ideas from the Student Advisory Council will directly improve the school experience of their peers.
Principal’s council! For students, with students! @PantherPrideTFM #tfspantherpride

Yet another perk of being a middle school principal…live streamed, student-led morning announcements. Great work @TfmsProductions #tfspantherpride

As a son who lost his father and had several people step into supportive roles for me and as a parent to two young children, I found this article article to be so powerful and touching. theringer.com/2022/3/3/22956…

What an impressive display of humanity!!
After getting hit in the head with a pitch, this little leaguer showed a true act of sportsmanship by comforting the pitcher 🥲

So simple and yet so sweet. The time and effort to be kind can, at times, be so little yet can make such an enormous impact on others.

While tucking my children into their beds tonight I couldn’t stop thinking of the parents that had moments like this taken away from them today…I’m sad, angry, frustrated and worried.

As a parent who is about to enter the world of youth sports and coaching this spring these words are especially meaningful - looking forward to creating fun memories, meaningful experiences / relationships & a love of sports for my son and all of the players and parents.

Very interesting thread…ideas that I will try to implement going forward to aid my decision making / personal growth.
“Razors” are rules of thumb that simplify decisions. The most valuable razors I’ve discovered:

This has been one of the biggest challenges for me. I have been making a determined effort to “be present” with staff and my own family. Harder some days than others but always important and is a huge part of building and maintaining genuine relationships. #LeadLAP
Q4: "Don't let the need for efficiency override the need to build rapport with your staff and school community." In our current season, how are you ensuring that you continually build rapport with those you serve? #LeadLAP @burgess_shelley @TraciBrowder @DHarrisEdS

I have really enjoyed getting the SRS Panther Podcast off and running and I am looking forward to working to bring our Panther students into the creation, production, and marketing aspects of the pod over the next few months.
We’re excited to release Episode 2 of the SRS Panther Podcast featuring a very special guest, @TFSPantherPride. Thank you Dr. Goldey for joining us on episode 2. #tfspantherpride open.spotify.com/episode/4UQ…

I love scrolling through this thread and seeing people’s joy but the responses from @notthefakeSVP are what get me - humorous and thoughtful…thanks for taking the time to connect to people in a truly authentic way. Thank you SVP!!
There are lots of traditions at Christmas, this has become a fun one. Every message/photo you send is a little different, but every one is the same, too. All the joy of Christmas and the holidays to you. #ShowSVPTheTree
Sticking my toe into the podcast waters...excited to see what the future holds for the SRS Panther Podcast.
We would like to introduce the first episode of the Panther Podcast. With the primary goal of continuing to connect our school to our school community, we're excited to see where the Panther Podcast takes us. #tfspantherpride anchor.fm/bhowroydtfschoolso…

Student creativity never ceases to amaze me. The impressive outcome when you combine engaged, motivated students with a dedicated, caring educator. Thank you Panther students and Ms. Micallef. #TFSPantherPride
Our 5th Grade Design Studio Enrichment Club did an amazing job adding some personality to our hand sanitizer stations throughout the building. Thank you Panthers!! #TFSPantherPride

I know it is REALLY hard right now . . . but as we prepare to exit our Thanksgiving break . . . I am focused on how I can spread optimism. It is the theme of my latest @edutopia blog post. Read it here: edutopia.org/article/how-sch…

Thank you ⁦@AdamMGrant⁩ - jobs/careers shouldn’t define us. I will no longer ask a child, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
