Protecting Our House

Have you ever seen the movie the “The Blind Side”? Recently, while watching it again, I realized I missed a very important moment in the opening lines. Michael Oher was a young African American high school boy virtually homeless living on his own in Memphis, Tennessee. He eventually found himself in the home of Sean

Judging a Book by Its Cover

It sat on the corner of my desk and they all knew where it was and it’s power…the teacher’s demerit book. It was the dreaded scorekeeper of a student’s lack of progress, behavior problems or not complying with the rules. Picking up the “D book” (really a 99 cents composition book from the Dollar Store)

Chairman’s Blog: Say What?

I learned quickly as a 5th grade teacher to never begin a question with the word “WHY” when addressing a student with a discipline problem.

She Nailed It!

As one of only six women who are GOP State Chairs, I find myself saying things that are out of the norm from the ChairMEN of the past. For example, “Where can I get my hair done?”, “Hold on while I switch out my heels to my flats” or “Where is a good nail salon?”

Senator Rick Santorum Visits ALGOP Headquarters and the Shoals

  ALGOP had the rare treat of having former Republican Presidential candidate Senator Rick Santorum for three events this past week. Senator Santorum, who won Alabama’s Presidential Primary last year, told me then to let him know if we ever wanted him back.  So, we took him up on his offer and he delivered. Senator
