Kermit Says: Stop the Stigma

A little over a year ago, I was traveling in Brazil with a great group of sophomores. While debriefing about the day's events, I received a text from a student in the States who asked if I’d spoken to another student to whom I was and still am quite close. At that point I hadn’t, and… Continue reading Kermit Says: Stop the Stigma

Dear Kermit: Managing Anxiety

Happy Tuesday, friends! Since entering the wonderful world of private school teaching, I have noticed my students are dealing with a type of stress, exhaustion, pressure, competition, and anxiety I don't think existed a few years ago. For some, it's debilitating. For others, it's embarrassing. But I want you to know anxiety isn't something that should… Continue reading Dear Kermit: Managing Anxiety

Kermit’s Cup of Tea: Sunday Spotlight (Mother’s Day Edition)

Happy Sunday, friends! Instead of the usual Friday Finding for this week, I'm spotlighting and thanking mothers: biological moms, adopted moms, play moms, working moms, single moms, living moms, moms who've passed away, moms who are separated from their children through death or distance, teacher moms, church moms, sisters, cousins, and friends. Today, and quite frankly everyday, we… Continue reading Kermit’s Cup of Tea: Sunday Spotlight (Mother’s Day Edition)

Happy Wednesday, friends. Apologies for the late post, but I can guarantee this video is worth the wait!
