My dear friend and teacher @sirkenrobinson left us yesterday. This hurts because he was one of the rare angels walking upon this earth. A wonderful father, friend and to those he inspired, which I am gratefully one, this powerhouse of a man brought more joy, humor and wisdom transforming education to become a place of innovation, creativity and inspiration for our children and our future. ⁣ God bless you Sir Ken, I know you will be watching over us all, continuing to whisper in our ears guiding us along to stay the course and realize our dreams.
