Capturing Kids' Hearts

Summer is here, and we want to know, how are you recharging before the new school year?

Traveling? Sleeping in? Reading for fun? Spending time with family? Doing absolutely nothing?

Drop your favorite way to recharge in the comments! ⬇️💛

This summer, give yourself permission to recharge!

Our June Summer Self-Care Challenge is all about small, intentional moments that help you reset and refill your cup, one day at a time.

Take a walk. Read for fun. Sit outside. Rest without multitasking. Whatever helps you breathe a little deeper and feel a little lighter.

Remember: the goal is consistency, not perfection. Small moments of care repeated over time create lasting impact.

Challenge yourself to choose one daily reset and reflect on how you cared for yourself each day. You deserve the same care you so freely give to other!

Hello, Summer!

While teachers are resting, recharging, and enjoying a well-deserved break, we’re busy planning the best training experiences yet for the upcoming school year!

We can’t wait to learn, grow, and connect with educators again soon. Until then, enjoy every slow morning, sunny afternoon, and moment of rest. You’ve earned it!

Educators, this one’s for YOU!

You spend the school year pouring into others, now it’s time to recharge, reset, and take care of yourself. Check off your summer self-care bingo card one square at a time and celebrate the little moments that help you rest and refuel.

How many squares can you complete this summer? TAG a fellow educator who needs this reminder! ⬇️

Integrity is more than a value; it’s a daily choice.

“When we have integrity, we gain the trust of our teammates, our students, and our colleagues.” - Flip Flippen

Trust is the foundation of every strong relationship, and it starts with how we show up each day.

May Teach With Heart!

As the year winds down, create space for meaningful reflection and a fresh sense of purpose. Small moments like these can leave a lasting impact and help students carry confidence into what’s next.
End the year with intention and heart.

Try it with your students and tag so we can see how you’re closing out the year strong

For Flip and Susan Flippen, founders of the Flippen Group and namesakes of the Flippen Leadership Institute at Texas A&M University, business is first and foremost about the people you interact with, not the transactions. Flip and Susan sit down with Ben Wiggins ’07 ’18 for the season finale of the Aggie Legends podcast to share insights on the importance of aligning values, how adversity shapes character, and why culture is not secondary to performance — it drives it.

May Leader Challenge: The Staff Award Challenge

As the school year ends, take time to celebrate your staff in a meaningful (and fun!) way. Plan a meeting to hand out creative awards, roll out the red carpet, and recognize the moments that made this year special.

Model what it looks like to focus on the good, because when we’re looking for it, it’s easy to find.
Let’s celebrate together! Snap a photo of your staff with their awards and tag us so we can join in the joy.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

To the educators who lead with heart, build meaningful connections, and create classrooms where every student feels seen; you are the difference.

Thank you for showing up day after day with purpose, patience, and compassion. The impact you make goes far beyond the classroom, shaping lives and futures in ways that truly matter.

This week, we celebrate YOU.
