We had a pretty epic afternoon with the SLA-MS Racket Sports Club..
Kids worked hard to get better at a thing, we had a dedicated photographer and lots of sunshine and fun.
I’m grateful to our 3 founders for asking me to be the faculty advisor for this incredibly fun group of people!

Lucky to have spent 3 afternoons with kids and their families talking about projects, growth, goals and hopes. It’s a privilege to bear witness to the ways families love and communicate. Being able to share these moments 4 times a year is one of the many reasons why I love @slamsphilly.bsky.social

The inaugural meeting of the @slamsphilly.bsky.social Racket Sports Club was a hit! Thanks to our founders who worked hard for weeks to plan the fun! Already looking forward to next week! 🎾

Good morning, Richard.

I also grew my first ever pumpkin, so I’m super proud of that.

Today in Advisory, we taught eachother how to make friendship bracelets. It was both hard and fun.
I like it when kids can display their non-academic talents, help eachother and persist with trying something different.
I still have lots of floss.. so we hope to get better over time!

The last magical moments of summer..
Thank you, Pool. I’ll miss you.

Yeah, we did!

Great collaboration on our first day of Pathfinder Math! So happy to be back! @slamsphilly.bsky.social

What does it mean to be busy? How can we help students derive joy from productivity?
