It was a full, wonderful weekend cheering on my two bigs. Love being their biggest fan. It’s the best role I get to play! ❤️

Also snuck out to see our marching band prep for tonight. This is a really young marching band with a ton of underclassmen, and they are sounding great! Proud of all the work this group has already put in! Michael A. Malek Wheeling Fine Arts WHS Orchestra Wheeling High School #WHSEFA

Had such an awesome day in world lit today with my MLLs and station rotation! Brainstorming and planning speech topics, parts of speech practice, and listening exercises for a very busy class period of using our brains! I love being an English teacher so much! Wheeling High School

Celebrated hamburger & waffle day, watched a snowball fight, and sat in on some grammar instruction in our frosh EL English classes! Love to see how our teachers are working hard to engage students and elevate language learning for our MLLs!! Wheeling High School @MrPiltaver Gabriela

Ended class yesterday with a parts of speech word sort. My students are doing so amazing, and I am really enjoying being back in the world of World Lit! We have spent our time establishing routines, diving into our theme, and reviewing, and every day I’m impressed! Wheeling High School

Spent ⬆️ time helping kids get to class today, but I got to sit in on this bell ringer in guitar that I just LOVED. “Nice to meet you, what’s your order?” 👏 to the kid who said 3 spicy chicken sands and a 10 piece nuggets. Michael A. Malek #WHSEFA #214firstdays Dr. Bradford Hubbard

A beautiful night for the wheeling marching band showcase! Great work, band students! You all sounded amazing! Michael A. Malek Wheeling Fine Arts Wheeling High School Wheeling Wildcats Athletics and Activities #WHSEFA

Beginning my 18th year of being an educator today! I think I’m at about the half way mark, lol.

In all seriousness, I love this job so much. I couldn’t imagine spending my time away from my kids in any other way.

Optimistic the 23-24 school year is gonna be great. #letsdothis

It was a great June! Can’t wait for July!

Here we go Dr. Bradford Hubbard. We could have a whole flex summer…just secure me about 1 million dollars in funding and we could make sometime really amazing happen!

(Only half joking…and we might be able to do it for half that…I’m not that strong in estimating)

Excited to get this one over to Buffalo Grove High School! Thanks for everything Cooper Middle School!

How do I have the pleasure of raising this beautiful daughter who is about to go to high school?! ❤️🎓

A snapshot of our first ever fine arts signing day! So proud of our students and this team. “The purpose of arts education is not to produce more artists…but to create complete human beings capable of leading successful and productive lives in a free society” -Dana Gioia
