If you want to say “Thank You, Teacher!” in a totally surprising and unexpected way, then keep reading. You may be thinking to yourself, “Well, I don’t have any school-aged children – so this isn’t for me.” WRONG! You don’t have to have children at all! All you have to do is know someone who […]
What exactly IS a schoolwide theme? How does it work? Who decides what the theme is? Why do schools even do this? I know, I know! Soooo many questions! I’ll answer them all for you. Promise. But first… A schoolwide theme is a brilliant way to unite students, staff, and families each year. Themes can […]
While a book for kindergarten may seem like it is only meant for 5-year-olds, it has the power to teach and remind all ages of important lessons that we can easily forget. Teaching kindergarten has provided countless moments to reflect on who I was as a 5-year-old and who I wanted to be. As I […]
What is my biggest announcement to date? Well…I WROTE A BOOK! Technically speaking, WE wrote a book. Who’s WE, you ask? My songwriting partner and pal, Nathan Meckel. There’s a little bit of a back story that follows the journey from idea – to song – to idea – to book release in the fall […]
