Through these trying times, our hopes and our prayers have been in protecting our little miracle. Yesterday at 1:46 pm, Isaiah Matthew Carey entered the world. Mommy and baby are doing well! “I made you, and I will care for you.” Isaiah 46:4

About man cried today after watching two of my students walk over to a student sitting alone at lunch and began engaging in conversation. Small acts of kindness go so far. I understand some students may choose to sit alone, but it never hurts to ask or say hello. Be the change!

Between school, school work, a job, extracurricular activities, sports, social life, eating meals, and tests... when do kids just get to be kids? When did we begin putting so much pressure on them instead of growing them as individuals and preparing them for the real world?

Asking my Twitter family for prayers. My grandfather who is 80 after a few days of cough / low grade fever went and was tested for COVID19. He is a prostate cancer survivor but is tough as nails. He will have to wait 4 days now to hear results and we are hopeful its just a bug.

@NicholasFerroni This! I’m so tired of hearing “you don’t go into teaching for the money”. It’s a true statement; however, teachers should be valued enough and paid enough to live comparably without wanting to quit or work two jobs.
