Todd just so happens to be this years MLB home run derby champion. He also made $3.75 million this past year and will make $8.25 million next year. So to say that Jacquelyn doesn’t have to work might be an understate... Read More »
As an American Government teacher, I spend a significant amount of time with my students at the beginning of each semester teaching the six principles of the United States Constitution. The thorough overview of each principle is intended to build a strong foundation for their understanding of our government and its complexities. Two of the six principles are Checks and Balances and Separation of... Read More »
Two weeks ago at Thirty-One’s Leadership Council (where the top 25 women in each of 5 categories earn their spot to attend), I was challenged to look at our Core Values and pick one that I want to focus on this upcoming year. Our values are to be Purposeful, Thankful, Respectful, Accountable, Curious, Courageous, Authentic, Trustworthy, Hardworking, Fun-Loving and Flexible as required to do... Read More »
