Last week was full of information, experiences, stress, joys, and more. From normal day to day activities, to STAAR, to losing Mrs. Boenker.
Our campus has been through a lot. Sometimes it feels like we may be the campus who's picked on, where our people are taken, where this or that happens. One thing I know for sure, being a man of faith, is that I believe God does everything for a perfect purpose even when we can't see it in the moment.
Losing Mrs. Boenker hit me hard. Especially knowing she is leaving in March. Melissa is a powerhouse. She is brilliant, creative, and such a go getter. And even more so she's become a friend.
BUT I know she will be a wonderful school leader and I know that our Navasota kids are lucky to still have her be a part of the NISD family. I also know that Mrs. Argueta will be a great addition to help lead our campus into the last few weeks of the year and into next year.
I love our campus family and break over every loss we experience. I value each and every one of you and there is not one person on this campus I would get rid of. We all bring something unique to this school and we all need each other.
Thank YOU for being a family who acts like a family. We love hard, we sometimes fight, we work hard, we argue, we cry together, and we show up every day ready to start again.
When I say there is no where else I'd rather be, I mean it. I have many opportunities offered to me on a weekly basis, and I turn every one of them down because Webb Elementary is truly where my heart is and it's where my family is.
This week let's take time to recognize the greatness in each other, enjoy every moment, and spread love.

Blogs/Articles
In closing....
I want our school to be one that thinks differently. That looks at children and adults differnetly. That loves deeply, and loves all of those bodies that walk through our doors. Each week I try and share videos that celebrate diversity and differences. Whether that is race, religion, disabilities, socioeconomic statues, and more.
Let us build a place where everyone is valued regardless of how different they may be. Everyone is worth celebrating.
