Tag a friend to either JOIN the challenge or buy their way out of it by donating the amount of their last bar tab to Make Our Day. Challenge link in bio and at makeourday.org. Calling out the (former) Banyan crew first because I’ll be back in Phuket IN 55 DAYS!!!! Joining a national coding league with no computers, internet, or place to practice was a risk - but the Aurora Community and Make Our Day donors really came together quickly to get us everything we needed. The Library gave us a practice space, the school district donated computers, Aurora Martial Arts loaned us WiFi hotspots, donors bought some more computers and BOOM, here we are in week 3 of the season. I have such a deep appreciation for everyone who donated to this because after 8 years of collaborating with different schools, nonprofits and community groups, I can tell you that a lot of resources (especially expensive ones like technology) never make it to the students in a way that actually benefits them and improves their learning environment. It is more rare than it should be to encounter people who say, we have the resources, let’s let students utilize them NOW BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT THEY ARE FOR!!! So I was really grateful to come across a lot of people in the community who understand that we have enough here if we just put it to good use. If you want to get involved with our team as a volunteer, guest speaker or donor, we’d love to have you (especially if you have snacks or snack money, these munchkins are BOTTOMLESS SNACK PITS. I guess coding makes you VERY hungry WE GOT SOME BIG GREEN!!! To turn that shed into a greenhouse classroom. Now the real work starts. Fixer to fabulous tour We tumbled on our first try 🌿 Today’s the day we need you guys to send us the BIG GREEN VIBES 🌿🥬🌿💪🤞We applied for a grant to build a Make Our Day greenhouse classroom - and today (or soonish) is the day. It’s gotta be a good omen that it’s also our favorite teacher KRU @kitmalvern ‘s bday 💕😘 so I like our odds I hate to see kids who think they don’t like learning….when really what they don’t like is school. School is not for everyone. Learning is. Checking our fall garden germination rate 👏it’s 👏not👏great👏but 👏we’re learning how to space and thin

Giving Tuesday Trifecta

Time, Money, Support = Magic This Giving Tuesday is brought to you in a roundabout way by a few furry (and recently reproductive organ free) friends. I had the pleasure of supporting one of my students at a non-profit spay and neuter clinic………for 9 hours.  This is her THING.  It’s a pop up one dayContinue reading “Giving Tuesday Trifecta”
