SURPRISE FROM THE LIONS!!! 🦁💙 I was SO excited to give Alessandra HER moment!! Listen……..these are kids. The emotions they feel are SO real and so normal. But this is where the lessons come in. We had a big talk about how celebrating someone else’s light doesn’t dim ours, it only makes the room brighter. ✨ Thank you, Detroit, for showing up for my kiddos and helping me create these moments. These lessons go way beyond the gridiron. We even dove into the grit of the Lions today (can’t wait to share that one later!!!). This is the good stuff. Perspective, gratitude, teamwork….. watching them grow through it all is the real win. 💛 DISCLAIMER: if you see a student’s face, their grownup has granted permission via a specific NFeLementary waiver. Thank you 🫶🏼 #nfl #teacher #football #teachersoftiktok #nfelementary @Detroit Lions
