Got a new name badge that includes my new role in the Public Relations and Programming department of Admin!

Teen: Miss Sarah, have you treated yourself lately?
Me: I bought a rug yesterday if that counts.
Teen: Buying a rug is not treating yourself, Miss Sarah. You are worth more than that. How much was it? Where did you buy it?
Me: On Amazon.
Teen: You didn't even go to the store, Miss Sarah? Come on now.
Me:....
Teen: Let me guess what month you were born.

Sir, you’re as old as my parents. Please make your way to the adult section.
Why should I be disrespectful to the young reader by shielding them from what they already know?

Used Cookie Caster for our 3D Printing program last night. I can't wait for my Hamilton cookie cutter!
Attended a fantastic and important discussion about race, racism, and education made painless through the One Maryland One Book program and its 2016 pick, “All American Boys.” Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely are great!
Just realized I posted this to the wrong blog! Here’s proof that Monday was pretty awesome!
