Reuniting and it feels SO GOOD!

While on vacation in the northwest I decided to stop and have lunch with my old boss, Pastor Stoot. He was the first one who ever gave me a chance to teach in the classroom, he always believed in me as much as he did the kids. While I was there, he got a call asking if someone could do an inspirational art project with the kids for a promotional fundraiser! This cosmic coincidence that I happened to be there at that moment was declared a "Jesus moment" by Pastor Stoot as he immediately asked me if I'd be willing to guest teach. I quickly agreed and for the next two days I spent about 6 hours working with Kindergarten and 1st-5th grade students to make an individual/collaborative art project that would promote good in the world while also promoting the school. The school, "Rise Up Academy" has a mascot of eagles so each piece of art was turned into a feather. Students cut their own feathers and glued and wrote everything themselves. I just sparked their ideas and gave the eagle framework for them to rise up through! It was an honor for me to teach here after 12 years since I first taught here. The kids were great too :) On my final day there, another cosmic coincidence happened when a rare bald eagle landed right outside the school as I entered! *magical* This mural should be going on display somewhere big, stay tuned!
