Valerie's 1st Birthday, Lynn Greenwood's Funeral and Brycelynn Dujardin's Performance

 

Madame President at 2026 UFLA

Every student deserves the chance to see the world through another lens.

Today I attended the 2026 UFLA conference, surrounded by inspiring world language educators—from first grade classrooms all the way through higher education. Being in a space with people who believe so deeply in the power of language reminds me of why I love my profession.

Every day, we’re helping students become bridge builders and connectors. Through language, they learn to see the world through another lens, to listen more closely, and to discover the humanity we share.

Happy 54th Birthday to our DAVE!

Such a wonderful day to celebrate an incredible man, husband, and father!

I made homemade Chinese food (scrumptious) and gave Dave a men's jewelry box which he LOVES!

Happy Birthday, Dave!
