My TYSABRI Infusion

 

Every month I will be gone to get my Infusion.  It is saving my life!  My first time this year was today!  This is what my Infusion looks like!

First Pep Rally and Footbal Game!

 I am so GLAD I TEACH at Booker T, and I get to experience the Spirit and Love of Booker T every year!  I Bleed BLACK AND ORANGE!!!!  Friday was the First PEP RALLY and Football Game.  BTW v. Bentonville.  The HIVE was ALIVE and I could feel the Booker T. Love!!!!  Here are 5 pics of that day!

Walking to the Pep Rally!

I went to the game with my husband.  I wore a neck fan - it was so HOT!

I saw one of my favorite students, Lathan Boone.  He was in my class when he was a freshman.  He graduated last year.  I still cannot believe it!  I snapped this pic of him - so cute!

I LOVE the POM girls!

Historic Moment

 

Never before has a former president been arrested and indicted multiple times!  This is a HUGE moment regardless of your political leanings.  So below is the mug shot and an article from NBC News about this Historic Moment!

 This is a GREAT Life Lesson!!!!  You should do this in every class, and anytime you go to a speaker!

I Bleed Black and Orange!!!!

 

It is my 19th year at the Hive!  I bleed black and orange!!!!  I started working at the Hive in 2005. Feels like yesterday, but was so long ago!  Here are some of the reasons I love Booker T:

1.  The Pride and Traditions!

This is Miss Hornet and I from before Covid.  I LOVE the traditions of Booker T!  I am so glad teachers cannot vote in Mr. and Miss Hornet.  I usually know all the candidates, and love them all!

I love Homecoming and Spirit Weeks, and dressing up!  My wardrobe is all black and orange!  This Homecoming 2013!  I love that students participate and go all out!  That really impressed me as a teacher!

For Homecoming one year a student made a Hornet Helmet.  So cool!  Had to get a pic of me wearing it!

2.  Being a Class Sponsor - Class of 2010

My 2nd year I became the Class Sponsor of 2010.  Being involved with Booker T is good for students and teachers!  Royce Anderson was Mr. Hornet, and TPS made a video about him.  Listen to his advice to future Hornets!  I completely agree!  Be involved - it deepens your love for Booker T!

Being the Class Sponsor of the Class of 2010 was the best decision ever!  I got to know them, and 11 years later we had a mini reunion, and the love was still there!  They will always have my heart!

I got to lead 2010 into their graduation.  BEST moment ever!  

2010 graduation.  The students walk through the teachers - so we can cheer them on!  You will be at graduation before you know it!

Mini Reunion in 2019.  They were 29 and 30 years old!!!!

3. Took students to Europe 3 times!

I took students to London in 2008!

I have done 3 trips to Europe with Booker T. students!  I am such an advocate for traveling!  See the world - the world is so much bigger than Tulsa, OK!!!  It was pure joy showing them the world!  

4. Supporting Students

The girl in blue was Miss Hornet!

Booker T students are rock stars!  I ADORE you!  I would move mountains for you!  Love watching you guys grow and learn!  I truly enjoy coming to school every day!  I have the best JOB on the planet!!

My Students at Winter Formal - January 2023!

This amazing girl was in my Advisory for 4 years!  So happy for her!

This was the NSU Graduation - Spring 2023.  I adore this girl to the moon and back!  So when she invited me to her college graduation - of course I said yes!  Her future is SO BRIGHT!!!

This was my second year teaching - 2006!  One of the best parts of working at the Hive is seeing former students become teachers at Booker T.  Did you see two teachers at the Hive now?  Mrs. Mejia and Mrs. Collins!!!!They are  9th graders in this photo!

Welcome Back To School and the Hive!
