2. Congratulations to LYSer, John Schumacher! He is the new Assistant Superintendent in Johnson City ISD. Who will be next? (By @LYSNation)

9. Disturb the status quo. (By @THS_Mr_Metz)

10. For 2013, The Fundamental 5 (Cain & Laird) is currently the 4th best selling Education Leadership book on Kindle! Thanks, LYS Nation! (By @LYSNation)
