Wow, it's strange realizing that as I sit here and type this, this will be my final staff blog post to you all.
The last 5 years in Navasota have been something special for sure. I have learned so much about myself, teaching, students, families, and so much more.
But most importantly I've had the extreme pleasure of working alongside all of you. We may not have always agreed but we always came together for kids.
Last weekend I think is when it truly hit me of all the "final" experiences here. I got little sleep Sunday night as I realized it was my final Monday with you all, the final House Field Trip, the final Scholastic Book Fair, the final of so many things for me as your Principal.
I know that you all will continue to do fantastic things for kids. It's part of who you are. I know as Mrs. Nichols takes the reins here at Webb she will continue doing fantastic things alongside all of you. It's in Webb's DNA.
I'm truly at a loss for words for what I'd really like to say, so I'll save it for our staff party together haha.
I know this coming week will be filled with many emotions and tears for myself. Saying goodbye is never easy.
You have been, and will always be, my family. And I will always be just a text, vox, or email away.

Tell Your Story
Here is this week's conversation with Katie Mense.
In Closing...
If there is one thing I could leave you with, it would be this...
Don't let anyone ever tell you that you aren't good enough or aren't working hard enough. I've watched you bend over backwards for NISD, our parents, our students, and each other. I've watched the countless hours and pieces of your paychecks you've donated. We've cried together, laughed together, and so much more. You are more than a score, you are more than a reading level, you are more than any single test could ever show. You've not only changed the lives of these students and families here at Webb, but you've changed mine. Own that.
If you need anything in the future....
