Do you want to build a snowman? Getting People Involved is Sometimes the Hardest Part
This past week, thanks to a random snow storm, both the school I work for and the school I attend had snow days. While this sadly did not stop the massive amount of work that needed to be done for the day, after a successful morning of work, I ran into two of my lovely […]
Spaghetti and Meatballs with a Side of Trust
Why have a lazy weekend when you can experience the opportunities of growth, trust, and respect through meatballs? Â Yes, I said meatballs! Â More specifically, a spaghetti and meatball dinner.

How Losing Your Dogs Can Build A Community
