Took some time off from running after thinking I broke a couple of toes a few weeks ago. There’s still some pain, but it felt really good to be back out there today. Not the fastest or the smoothest run—but definitely the most appreciated one in a while.
Just finished From Fear to Faith by @gary_zimak. It’s not about pretending fear doesn’t exist—it’s about refusing to let it lead. With honesty, Scripture, and simple yet powerful steps, Zimak gently guides us toward peace through trust—not control. Do not be afraid to be saint.
Our Principal Panel, @CarlishaElam, @DanaLiberton, and @dwats1155 shares their insights, advice, and wisdom with our Emerging 1 @MLDSLeaders cohort. @DrJ_Anderson @StLouisRPDC @EducPlus
Big thanks to our district curriculum team for leading a meaningful day of professional learning for administrators. The focus on high-quality instruction, collaboration, and student impact made the time valuable and energizing. Grateful for the leadership!
Wait, What? by James E. Ryan is a quick but powerful read. Five thoughtful questions that push you to listen better, think deeper, and lead with more intention. @HarperOneBooks
Spent the last few days at Bierbaum Elementary—huge thanks to Paul Morris and Julie Dooley for being such gracious hosts. Great people with incredible energy and love for their school. Grateful for the warm welcome and the chance to see Bierbaum in action!

I just finished Let Go of Your Fear by @gary_zimak. This book is full of insight & encouragement. Every chapter offered meaningful reminders abt what it means to let go of worry and lean into trust—especially when life feels uncertain. @avemariapress
Finished 7 Steps to a Language-Rich, Interactive Classroom by @JohnSeidlitz and Bill Perryman. Practical. Powerful. Proven. Every teacher deserves access to these strategies that support engagement, language, and learning for all students—especially ELs. Thanks @Seidlitz_Ed!
My weekend at the White House. No politics. Just Peace. Please take a moment to read my latest article: open.substack.com/pub/patrickrke…
Just returned from the White House Retreat—three days of prayer, reflection, and spiritual renewal. If you're looking to step away and reconnect with God, consider joining me next year: July 9–12, 2026. It’s a powerful experience. Let me know if you're interested. @whretreat
Just finished my worst run of the summer. It was brutal out there—hot, slow, and a grind the whole way. But I showed up, and sometimes that’s the win. @fit_leaders
Just finished A Different Kind of Power by @jacindaardern — highly recommend. A powerful, honest reflection on leadership rooted in kindness, empathy and strength. Thank you @CrownPublishing for sharing this story.
Made it to the Pen Show today! Always interesting to see the range of styles, brands, and people who share a love for all things pens. Enjoyed this day from start to finish—and I’m already looking forward to next year.
