Wrapped in blankets and surrounded by friends, they shared donuts, memories, and quiet anticipation for what lies ahead. There was laughter, lots of pics, and a shared understanding that this year will be full of “lasts,” but also full of incredible firsts.
To our seniors: soak in every moment, take the pictures, cheer each other on, and lead with kindness. This is your year. 💛

Her insight into school culture, leadership, and belief in the power of educators had us reflecting, laughing, and dreaming bigger for our students. She challenged us to raise the bar—not just for others, but for ourselves—and left us charged up for the year ahead. 👊💥
