PLEASE pray for school leaders and teachers that we receive the guidance we need from the Holy Spirit as we reopen schools in the coming weeks. Spread the word! May all be safe from harm and know His power!

Regardless of decisions made by school leaders this fall, please treat them like humans. We despise this pandemic as much as anyone, and not a single one of us went to med school! We love your kids and want to teach them! Give grace!

My heart is broken again. The Ladehoff family is an amazing bunch. Please pray for Jon, Kristi, Nathan, Lindsey, Eli, and the community of Sutton. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.
Proud principal moment today. A community member sent me a message titled "Students at Qdoba." Immediately my mind went to the worse case, but I have awesome students. Thank you

Hey, kids!
Today's math lesson...
Hall Co has 40 confirmed COVID cases and a pop. of 61519. This comes out to about 6 cases per 10000 people. Combined, Douglas, Sarpy, Washington counties (the Omaha area) have 179 cases, 763780 people, 2.3 cases per 10000 people. STAY INSIDE! 😬
I can safely say in 29 years of living that behind marriage and the birth of my children, today has been one of the most anticipated days of my life. I LOVE seeing my students! Wear a mask, maintain distance, DON'T MESS THIS UP! WE CAN DO IT!!!!!

In the wake of closing school, I feel sad. I’m an educator. I want to see education happen consistently and constantly. However, the single most important thing our youth can do right now is practice effective social distancing. PLEASE DON’T GATHER!

Today, I had the honor and privilege to present a high school diploma to US Army RET Lawrence D. Veed. Mr. Veed left high school to serve our country in WWII. At the age of 95, he will join the ranks of alumus of GICC thanks to Operation Recognition. Congratulations Lawrence!
I won't be hitting the transfer portal anytime soon 🙂
I've signed a new, 3-year contract with GICC running through the end of the 2026-2027 school year. When you love what you do and who you're doing it for, things make a lot of sense.
Now...let's talk NIL...

Someone left me a note in my office with Philippians 4:6: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." If God is with us, who shall stand against us?

I've met precisely zero people with whom I've agreed on EVERYTHING. I even married someone who thinks coconut is a food. We can love people we disagree with and treat them as beloved children of God!

My alma mater, UNK (which I love and recommend to prospective teachers) has 3 biology and 2 math teachers listed in their graduation program. There are districts that could hire the entire class and still have openings. Buckle up, the teacher shortage is about to get real.
We've had over 99% of our students logged on to classes this morning! KEEP IT GOING, CRUSADERS!!!! This is what Crusader Strong looks like!

This is nightmare fodder for every school leader out there. We’re not trained for this. She’s a human, too, and deserves to be treated as such.
This is a team effort. If we want things to get better, we must make small sacrifices. Wearing a mask and sitting 6' apart beats the crap out of overloading hospitals and closing schools. It's not about what you believe, it's about what you want to happen next.

Best of luck to every administrator, teacher, and student as we embark upon a new school year! Education is critical for the success and wellbeing of all students. Thank you educators for what you do!
If you feel more exhausted than ever, it's because this year has demanded more mentally, emotionally, and physically than any in recent history. Just imagine how accomplished we'll feel looking back on everything we overcame this year...we're so close!

As a principal who has spent a few moments in the theater, it makes me so happy to see our students do well in the arts. All Shook Up was FANTASTIC! Way to go, Crusaders! The arts are alive at Central! 🎭 🎭 🎭

I don’t want people thinking the principal’s office is a bad place to visit. It gets lonely in here. So I went out and bought some fancy chocolates. Nobody visited yesterday. I ate 4. This backfired.

Working on master schedules is like playing a game of checkers against a supercomputer only it gets three turns for every one turn you get and also your head is on fire.

Covid isn’t fun at all…definitely to be taken seriously. I hurt, but I’ll be fine…I pray others are as lucky. On a related note, when the heck will I be able to taste again? Tired of eating nothing flavored food 🤪
I feel so much more motivated now. I'm sure since we've been publicly shamed (again) the number of teaching applicants I have will increase exponentially. I'm sure my students are even more excited to go into ed now, too! Thanks for the help, Pete!

Nebraska’s average ACT score is at the lowest level in at least a decade. Leadership in Ed must focus on getting our kids back on track and equipping teachers for success. Teaching political activism to our children shouldn’t be part of that equation.

and I visited my grandma this week and are hanging out in Chicago for a few days. First time I’ve seen her in 20 years. Family is first!
Saying goodbye is so awesome and so hard. Good news - I've only cried twice today on our senior's last day. I don't want them to see it (which is why I don't go to graduation parties...hot mess express)...but moments like this one don't come often. Thank you
