PrincipalInce Oct 25 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4 I just started a boy's leadership team because I want to empower our 6th grade boys to win the day and lead. #wciledchat

c_johnson007 Oct 25 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4: Authentic conversations with students on an ongoing basis is key. Allow their strengths and weaknesses drive decisions #wciledchat

ROWVA does! @PrincipalInce #wciledchat

StaciaMattan Oct 25 @ 9:34 PM EDT

It is important to stay relevant to the Ss. Facebook is what mom uses in their minds. Maybe Twitter, and definitely snapchat! #wciledchat

c_johnson007 Oct 25 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@PrincipalInce I'd love to hear how that goes. We need to work to develop good strong male leaders in our schools today. #wciledchat
