Students enjoying the “Crow Island Authors Corner” which features original works by 1st and 2nd graders. How exciting to see their work on a shelf near other authors they revere!

Enjoyed a great day of creativity, community building, and learning at Crow Island today! I experienced my first Pioneer Room and then, after transporting back from 1840 stumbled upon a Elephant & Piggie shadow puppet show!

Yesterday we brought together student leaders from each school to learn from Theresa G from @swancc and brainstorm how to apply their learning. “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed it’s the only thing that has.” -Margaret Mead

Had an awesome time packing food with friends @acchurchorg with @fmsc_org. Our group tonight was able to pack enough food to feed 94 kids for an entire YEAR! Not only is it fun and a good cause, but you get an awesome hairnet out of the deal, too!
