• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Played some football with the students this morning at recess. Being an hour from KC, Red Friday's are a big deal. Most of these kids don't have many opportunities (lots of rural poverty) or good male role models, so it's awesome to get out there and have fun with them. I'm glad I'm in a district where we can still do two hand touch football and have everyone piling on trying to get fumbles. I even got told by a student I was like Mahomes after throwing him a twenty yard pass (amazingly, he caught it). Broke some second grade ankles in those dress shoes!
