Art/Leadership

Happy New Year, everyone! The last two months of 2022 were busy creating art for many holidays and traditions (Dia Del los Muertos, Native American Heritage month, Stone Soup), as well as honoring the change of the seasons (mushrooms in an autumn forest as well as a winter wonderland of a hare in a cozy scarf) all while being flexible in switching classrooms and schedules to make way for our winter production of the Wizard of Oz. This class also had the incredible opportunity to lead the Second Harvest food drive at school. They helped raise a lot of money and perishable foods for our local community. Lots of gratitude practices were highlighted through art and song. I taught the students a song by Copperwoman called “I give thanks”. The students beautifully sang the song blessing our meal at our stone soup celebration. It was also positive to share ground breaking stories of some very influential Native Americans from the past to present in leadership class. As busy as we were, we had fantastic classes together wherever on campus we landed. I hope everyone has had a wonderful winter break! See you all soon!
