Welcome to my blog! I am excited about sharing my thoughts with you and the wonderful things that are happening in our school. Additionally, I like to share observations about books and articles that have helped shape my leadership and assist me with becoming an effective instructional leader.

Recharging the Battery
We remember to do this with our electronic devices; however, we often skip our own, and decide rather to run on fumes. But what is our productivity rate if we are tired, sluggish, and our judgement is less than 100%? Staying rested, fueling our body with healthy items, and keeping fit is a key to remaining successful in our busy lives. One of my favorite authors frames his life like this when considering whether he will do anything - "Will this (insert anything) help me become the best version of myself?" So do I take a nap or go for a long walk? Do I eat veggies or french fries? Do I watch TV or read a good book? It seems simple enough when you think about becoming the best version of yourself. So this weekend, I decided that recharging my own battery would be the key to helping me be back on the road to being the best version of myself. Nothing like a three day weekend to relax, catch up on life, and get in some great exercise. Don't let your battery get into the red warning sign - take the time to charge up!
