Nothing like get ready to leave for school & a tornado warning gets issued just as buses were headed out 🫠😂 No school today!

I’m outside every morning before school at the crosswalk. I love starting my day greeting students & being the first smile they see. I try to acknowledge everyone by name. It’s been cold lately though & my electronic hand warmers are great & all but…look a little sus. 😬😂

Our rural MO middle school is hosting a bball tourn this weekend. As I’m supervising, I find it surreal that our 1st game features the “Indians” & “Braves”🫠 (We are the Tigers) Representing this morning with my limited-edition tipi ledger art hoodie from Apsaalooké (Crow) artist Elias Not Afraid ✊🏽

This workshop is next week! Join us to get a refresher on creating safety in the classroom via the four priorities of trauma-informed ed. Pay-what-you-can (including $0) www.tickettailor.com/events/uncon... #EduSky

High school basketball season is underway. Got to see a player score their 1,000th career point on a dunk.

It’s a beautiful day for Science Olympiad at WashU!

I am happy to report that I PASSED my dissertation defense. Dr. Buckman ✊🏽 Čhaŋtémawašte do!

November is here. 🫠 Submitting my dissertation to my committee tomorrow! Making those last edits. Defending on the 18th! 😬🙌🏽 Grateful for the opportunity to have looked through some original documents, photos, and a catalog from Carlisle Indian Industrial School this past summer.

Dissertation proposal defended! 🙌🏽 It actually happened Tuesday but hasn’t had a chance to sink in yet. 😂

Picked up a “new” camera this weekend.

Hello, Bluesky! Here’s a little introduction as I’m trying to make the switch over from that other social space: Háu! My name is Wade. I am an Indigenous father of 3 who’s learning my language. By day, I am a middle school assistant principal in rural Missouri. I’m also working on a dissertation. 👋🏽
