Have you seen this video from Appleton East HS that went viral? Officer Jack Taschner is one class act resource officer. I love the positive energy and fun he brought to the student section.



This week I listened to Chop Wood, Carry Water on Audible. (Thank you for the recommendation Jackie.) This book is read by the author, Joshua Medcalf, and is a story about living life and perseverance. I love that it helped me to reflect on my own life and experiences.  Click here for some of the inspirational quotes from the novel.

Check out the TI - Innovator Rover Programmable Rover!! This programmable robotic vehicle that drives conceptual curiosity in math, science and coding. (Thanks for sharing Rick.)

 Happy first day of Fall everyone. Enjoy the sunsets, the beauty of the turning leaves and Friday night football games.
