I understand the snow day banter is part of the culture of our district.
I am not afraid to hear different perspectives.
However, all of us represent Walled Lake. Let’s be sure to do it correctly, and in a manner we can all be proud of.

For the last time, I was a guest reader in Averie’s class today, something that’s been an annual tradition since preschool. Talk about a bittersweet moment.

At this point, the snow is winding down and road crews are hard at work. Our team has been out on the roads and we’re monitoring conditions.
Please plan for school tomorrow. I will be up very early to assess everything once more and will keep you all posted.

A very Happy Birthday to my daughter Miciah.
She is a force of nature. When she sets her mind to something, she does it, and is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in. Truly, she is one of the most determined people I’ve met.
The world needs more people like her.

Leading up to 5th grade camp, the zip line has been a big stress point for Averie Bernia.
These pictures are a lesson for all of us to put one foot in front of the other and face our fears.

I take pride in the milestones and her many accomplishments, but I’m most proud of the person she’s growing up to be. The world could truly use more people like her.
Happy Birthday to one of the people I love the most, Averie Bernia.
If only she didn’t grow up so fast.

My grandfather lost his mother at a young age and didn’t have a permanent home for most of his childhood. This experience taught him family was the greatest gift.
He taught me to cook and told me “Sundays are for family. We eat, we laugh.”
This picture would make him happy.

I’m inspired by the enthusiasm of the multiple people who posted “first day in a new role” messages today
As someone who is long past that “first day,” I’d offer this advice:
Listen. Then listen. Then listen some more. Start with what’s necessary, then move to what’s possible.

In a crisis, we start by stabilizing our adults. Students follow the lead of their teachers. Stable, confident adults are good for kids.
The indecision and rhetoric of our leaders are making an uncertain time even more unstable.
Our leaders must lead.
