Met this D-Day Veteran on our ferry over to Normandy. He was a minesweeper for the invasion at 18 years old. His whole family from Tennessee was with and said they all wouldn’t be here if he didn’t make it.

Last picture in the classroom with Mr Brigham. I am going to miss teaching with, and next to, one of the greatest educators I have ever met. Here’s to a retirement filled with happiness, travel, and adventure!

I would like to thank cardboard cut out Dr. Tyrrell for stopping by after work today to let me know it’s going to be a great year! I will be sure to pass this great pick me up on...Now, if I could only figure out who is responsible...

I don’t know how our guide pulled it off but we got to ride on this water vehicle and get a glimpse of coming in to Dog Green on Omaha beach. What an experience...

Met these awesome Eagles at the Tinley Park convention center yesterday while getting our first vaccine shot. Thanks to the National Guard for making it run so smoothly. I’m seeing light at the end of the tunnel!

Sandburg students are amazing! I feel so incredibly lucky to work at a school where 184 students just attended a 2 hour evening AP World History review session with Mr Brigham, Ms Parker, and I. That is just awesome!!
