Day 1 at the Ron Clark Academy—WOW. Just WOW. I’m not going to lie, I definitely squealed a bit and totally geeked out getting a more intimate professional development experience with some of the most influential educators. I tried to soak it all in, but the pure amazement is difficult to put into words. The immaculate learning spaces, the singing, the dancing… the energy was next level. But the real magic? The students. Watching them live the RCA philosophy was absolutely inspiring.
Oh, and did I mention… We braved the Monster Slide and are now officially RCA Slide Certified! ✔️ I can’t even begin to anticipate all the greatness tomorrow will bring! {more detailed photos of the actual learning experience to come}

✨Dreams Do Come True!✨ We {Mrs. Oliver & Mrs. McDaniel} are beyond excited and deeply honored to have been awarded the opportunity to attend The Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, GA—all expenses paid by the Sonic Foundation! This has been a dream of mine, and I can’t wait to experience the energy, innovation, and magic of RCA firsthand. {I don’t even mind giving up my spring break for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!} Wheels came down today in Atlanta, it's been a day of adventures and we have two full days ahead at The Ron Clark Academy! I can’t wait to share every inspiring moment and innovative idea from this experience. Stay tuned for more updates as we dive into an amazing journey—thank you to the Sonic Foundation for making this dream a reality and for investing in educators! Thank you to my RES family for always supporting my passion for learning and leading. Get ready—because amazing things are coming our way! ❤️ #DreamComeTrue #RonClarkAcademy #SonicFoundation #RESLeads #RCAINSPIRED #RCAEXP
