“Be the difference for THAT kid. THAT kid is the one that is off-task, uses unkind words and is hard to love. THAT kid needs you the most. You can help change THAT kid’s life trajectory in a huge way. I was once THAT kid!” @DrP_Principal

“Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it.”
