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!

@DrBradJohnson I heard once that people join organizations but they leave leaders. From then on, I wanted to be a leader that no one wanted to leave. It’s an important reminder that others want to be a part of something bigger than their self but one person can make them look elsewhere.
