Iowa gets one of the best players I’ve had the pleasure to coach over my 30+ years and an absolute “DUDE” on the field. Congratulations Luke !! I just became a big fan of
@HawkeyeFootball
!! You’ll love everything about Luke both on and off the field.
Get to enjoy watching our son
@faizolbouchard8
graduate from NW Missouri State tonight. He’s one of those graduates among that group on the field. He came to the USA from Uganda in 2007 with no formal schooling and graduates Cum Laude tonight with a Bachelors.

Always proud of my son
@HarunaSsentongo
and especially on his graduation from William Jewell College today !!! Twelve years ago he arrived in the USA with little formal education and now graduates from college in 3 1/2 years.
Please welcome our newest granddaughter, Mila, to the world today. Congratulations

@kimberr08
. So pleased to officially welcome Kimber to our family !!!
A big thanks goes out to
@The_GKCFCA
for the recognition into the GKCFCA Hall of Fame last night. Congratulations to the others selected and honored to be part of this great group of fellow inductees. Special thanks to all the players and assistant coaches who made this possible.
Super proud of our son Faizol today as he graduates with a Master’s of Science in Educational Leadership from Northwest Missouri State University. 33 years ago I made the same walk across the stage in this same location. Congratulations
@faizolbouchard8
Wouldn't it be nice to see someone in that seat as US Education Secretary that has served as a teacher, building administrator and then a superintendent of schools at some point in their career so they have the full scope of perspectives. We can dream can't we !!!
Happy Anniversary to my lovely wife of 34 years
@michelleboucha4
. I’ve been blessed many times over my lifetime but I can’t think of a greater blessing than being married to you for all these years. Love you honey and can’t wait for the next 34+ !!!
So proud of our youngest. Faizol would’ve walked yesterday but will do so later this summer. Graduated with a 3.5 GPA. Not bad for a youngster who started formal school at age 9 when he arrived in America. True success story. Love you son !!!
This dad loves that two of my sons have chosen the field of education and also serve as dedicated football coaches for NKC High School. Love you guys !!!
@faizolbouchard8
@CoachKBouchard
We got to hang out with our favorite Bearcat today !!! So proud of our son as he’s bounced back from two ACL surgeries. It’s great to see him back in full uniform.

Getting to celebrate our 33rd Anniversary with this lovely lady
@michelleboucha4
and get to celebrate it by going to the wedding of
@eliross65
and his lovely bride
@Tawwwerr
as they kick off their journey together.
Absolutely love running into former players doing what they do so well. Few did it as well as
@johnjray07
as Class 5 Offensive POY in 2017. It was great to see him last night.
One of the fun things about being at Arrowhead is randomly seeing some former players while walking through the parking lot. Great to see one of the best QB’s Harrisonville has had & the State 2004 Offensive POY, Dr. Tyson Travis along with Nate, Dustin, Jared and Ben. Go Chiefs
Happy birthday to our youngest as he enters the “next 25” years of his life. You keep getting better and better with age. Please wish him happy birthday if you see him. Love you Faizol !!!
@faizolbouchard8
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there today. A special shout out to the coaches who step into that role for so many of their players. I’m blessed to be a dad to one awesome daughter and four awesome sons.

@bouchardlegacy
This afternoon
@Winstonmoore02
did his public signing of his NLI with Colgate that he officially signed during signing date over Christmas break. This was a great celebration of a wonderful young man who performed at a high level week in and out. Congratulations Winston !!
Happy birthday to my son
@CoachKBouchard
!! He’s one of the most amazing young men that I know and his enthusiasm and passion for life is obvious. I’m so impressed how he embraces his work to help struggling students as a professional educator. Love you Kahluna !!
Spending our 35th Valentines Day together with a heart shaped pizza from
@pizzahut

When attending
@GreenWaveFB
I got to meet
@MICDSfootball
and
@MICDSLacrosse
alum Ryan Thompson. He came up and introduced himself as a proud alumni within 10 minutes of me being there. We had a great visit after practice. What an awesome representative of
@MICDS
Going through some old files and found the first football clinic I ever attended at Ray Pec HS. Speakers Pete Adkins, Coach Wams, Steve Hancock and Henry Mason hosted by Bruce Young all in the Coaching HOF. I’ve enjoyed reviewing the notes. Same principles for success hold true!
Happy birthday to this wonderful, beautiful and awesome lady that I get to share life with. Hope you have a wonderful birthday and a special year !! I love you Michelle !!!
Spent $1 at an Estate Sale across the street on this timeless precursor to Madden. Put in three new batteries and it works like it did the first day it was opened which may have been sometime in the 1970’s. Fun stuff !!!
Big Happy Birthday to our son Kahluna who turns 21 today. Love this guy and love the man he’s becoming. Hope you have a wonderful day today of which three hours of it will be in the car with your parents ... LOL !!!
@HarunaSsentongo
If you see this guy around today you may give him a Happy Birthday shout-out !!! He’s such a driven and hard working man. Two weeks ago he graduated from college and now looking at Grad School for an MBA. Hope today is a great day Kahluna !!!
@HarunaSsentongo
Just five
@NWMOSTATE
graduates (Monica, Sam Fred, Kimber and Faizol) from 1990 to 2023 celebrating the newest alumni
@kahlunabouchard
earning his Specialist Degree from NWMSU. OABAAB !!!
@NWBearcat_FB
With many states beginning to officially call off the spring sports season my thoughts go out to the student-athletes, especially the seniors, who had worked hard to prepare for their seasons and the coaches that pour their heart and soul into their teams. It’s just a big bummer.
Privileged to attend practice
@GreenWaveFB
and see my long time coaching friend
@CoachWEFritz
! It’s awesome to see guys who make it to the big time are still the same great people we remembered. Any HS player should jump at the chance if offered by Tulane. Thanks Coach !!
Speaking of AWESOME Mothers, my wife of 30+ years and the Mom to our 5 children deserves a huge shout out the Mother’s Day. Hope you have a great day today. I know how lucky all our kids are in having a Mom in their life that loves them unconditionally.
Congratulations to Steve Rampy on being named the next head football coach at
@SHSFalcons
@StaleyFootball
Great guy and great coach who gets to step into an outstanding school community that loves football. Awesome hire for Staley and the NKC Schools.
@s_rampy
Happy birthday to the most wonderful person I know and the perfect coaches wife. Love you Michelle and we hope we can make sure you know how special this day is because of you !!
MICDS Assistant Football Coach decided to run/walk 50
Miles for his 50th Birthday. He started at 3am and finished at 7pm !!! Congratulations Kevin !!! What an inspiration to the young men in the program and certainly to the coaches.
Happy birthday to our youngest son
@faizolbouchard8
!!! Hope you had a wonderful day surrounded by your lovely wife and baby daughter. Love you Faizol and look forward to seeing you all later this week to celebrate your birthday and Thanksgiving !!!
In my prayers this morning I asked God for me to have more patience. I was then given an abundance of that opportunity at the DMV !!! 🤦♂️ That’s the group behind me. Similar group in front of me.
One of the most fun parts of our job is bumping into former players and catching up a little bit. Bumped into
@ELAMinator88
who is now tearing it up on the mat
@MizzouWrestling
. Not sure if
@CoachDrinkwitz
knows what a dude he was on the gridiron. Great to see you Zach !!!
Gotta be honest, today is a day that I really truly miss not having my son
@kahlunabouchard
nearby because he is a snow shoveling beast !!! That lonely snow shovel is calling my name and I wish someone else was available to be a snow shovel whisperer.
Wonderful wedding weekend surrounded by family and friends who came to celebrate the special day with Kyle & Stephanie. Thanks to all who were able to make it in from around the country and those who sent their best wishes to the newlyweds.
Our Head of School
@MICDS
@jayrainey
wrote last year about his resolution to read more consistently in the upcoming year and it inspired me to challenge myself to do the same. I placed the completed books under my reading table. Here is a pic of my 2020 readings.
Happy 21st Birthday to my son
@faizolbouchard8
!!! He always makes me laugh and has a wonderful spirit. Hope you have an awesome day and we’ve prepared a big Turkey dinner to celebrate your day.
Mizzou plays with half a deck today with a bunch out because of Portal Transfers, NFL Opt Outs or legitimate injuries. FBS college football needs to figure out how to get full rosters on the field for bowl games. It’s a frustrating topic and certainly impacts these games.
Ownership and accountability create Championship level culture. Entitlement ruins culture. Everyone doing their part and having a willingness to do more is what creates a successful environment.
Getting a Thank You note from a former player who’s in his 4th year in college is about as good a reward as a coach gets. If you draw on lessons you learned while you played HS football I guarantee your coach would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks Jake
@CoachCraigLewis
Here is another one we ran into today. Coach Joe took these two guys on his
@neccoraiders
team when they were in 5th-6th grade and coached them up. At the time they had been in KC only one year. I appreciate the way that organization made the boys feel so welcome.
Happy birthday to
@kahlunabouchard
!! Look forward to celebrating your birthday and Christmas with you !!! Your birthday today is a great way to kick off the weekend festivities. Love you son !!!
Steve Hall and Nate Schuckman receive the highly selective Elite Eleven recognition from the National Football Foundation Tom Lombardo Chapter of St. Louis. Steve and Nate received this award for their outstanding academic work along with their excellent performance on the field.
Congratulations to all our senior signees today !! Carter, Davis and Willy have been instrumental to the football program these past four years and we can’t thank them enough !! Love you guys
@CarterEnyard
@BigSchuke
@_WillyCarpenter
It was AWESOME and INSPIRING to have
@ContinuedFight
the Elite Performance Coach, Ben Newman, speak to the MICDS Rams Football Team this afternoon. His message of Confidence comes from Discipline was exactly what our team needed to hear. Thanks so much Ben !!!
Congratulations to my friend
@CoachWEFritz
on their big win over USC. This concludes the greatest one season turnaround in CFB history from 2-10 to 12-2 and a
@CottonBowlGame
championship.
@GreenWaveFB
Loved
@garthbrooks
singing Amazing Grace then shaking hands and/or hugging each of the Presidents, Vice Presidents and First Ladies on the stage both Republican and Democrat. The unifying gestures should be an example we strive for going forward as a country.
Thinking of the Mom’s near to me. Happy Mother’s Day to my awesome wife
@michelleboucha4
and my two great DIL’s
@kimberr08
and
@sa_bouchard
. And of course, thinking of my own Mom in heaven today. Love you all !!!
@Winstonmoore02
clips a 10.8 in the 100m at district track this morning. He may knock another .2 or .3 off before the year is completed. Congratulations Winston !!!
@MICDSfootball
@MICDSTrack
So proud of our son
@faizolbouchard8
for doing yeomen’s work as a teammate in helping prepare one of the nations best defenses week in and week out.
@NWBearcatFB
is so good because the guys they practice against during the week would start for a lot of other college teams

One of the scarier parts of not having children in school show up in these statistics. Schools and teachers are often the only lines of defense to help students who are in these awful situations.
