My sweet Gia, age 7, shared her diary with me tonight. The start of this school year is definitely different but I don’t have to be. I can still laugh, build relationships, encourage & invest in others. Virtual or in-person, I am an educator. Masked up and ready to roll. #1LISD

I was your assistant principal. You were my leader, mentor, friend, mother at times, but most of all... You were who I wanted to be. Good luck Evelyn Crisp. I hope to impact my students and staff with the heart and passion you showed every day. #1LISD @JimPlain Happy Retirement!
