I'm back... and in full get ready mode, for Tuesday's Art Night at WES~ that will be from 5:15-6:15 pm- before the music program!
Thanks again for ALL of your support, with running the Boston Marathon, on Monday... my heart is truly SO full!
I am pretty happy with my run- not too shabby of a time- for having a hip injury, stopping twice to use the restroom and also two stops at aid stations for ice. YOU got me through, Wabaunsee! PROUD to be a Charger!!

Varsity ⚾️ & 🥎 travel to JCN tonight and come away with a double sweep
I know, I know.... you are probably thinking. "you should be resting!" ...BUT I just had to see if I could meet "Riley, the Museum Dog", that the Alma and Maple Hill Elementary Students studied in 2021! Well, Riley and his family are on Spring Break, BUT I did get to go to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, where he "works"! Here, I found the book we used for our studies in the museum store (an even a stuffed animal of Riley)... AND even though I didn't have too much time at the museum, today, I managed to find pieces of art that we looked at (and some reproduced) from the book! So fun!! (see links below, to learn about this past project)

Hello, from Boston! Got in late last night!!! ...and oh my goodness; I think this is the most community support I’ve ever received~ with running a race- even for the 2 Boston Marathons I have ran previously!! I am completely overwhelmed… in a positive way, of course! …and the big race is still 3 days, away!!! (…and you know me, if I haven’t responded back to you yet; I will eventually. #petpeave)I actually have now lived and worked in the Manhattan, Kansas area for 21 years, next month. As much I really want to move to the beach; I cannot imagine moving away from this place I call home! I truly believe- your home can not only be places, but people, too… ie.- my Kansas community!!…BUT one of the people I call home, does not live in my community or even Kansas! She is my Aunt. Yes, actual family!! You cannot choose your family, we all know this… but I would choose her- over and over. Almost all of my family (mom- deceased in ’21 and dad’s side), live in Minnesota… but, I never lived there. Growing up, our family (mom, dad and brother) “vacations” though, consisted of driving to the Twin Cities every summer and sometimes either Thanksgiving or Christmas. Now, I put vacation in quotes, because you are probably picturing hours of being in the car… and really, to the same place- over and over?! …BUT, oh how I looked forward to going to a real city (we mostly lived in small towns in the Midwest- moving almost every two years- eventually ending up in Ohio- (which is another home and story)! Besides all of the arts, culture and food… the greatest part, was family! I could talk about all of it’s members and the effect they have had on my life… but “this” here though, is about not only my Aunt- my family- but one of my best friends. My Aunt did in fact show me all the coolness of city Iife- she lived in a loft, we went to art fairs, fantastic places to eat, festivals, attended sporting events/concerts, went to different churches and even the gym together (sorry if I am forgetting things, Auntie! I can honestly say, that if it wasn’t for the experiences I had in Minneapolis, with you- I would not be an art teacher, today) She went above and beyond, when showing/letting me experience all these things… treating me! I have always felt spoiled by her… but oh, so grateful!! She is still doing this, by planning and providing such a wonderful Boston Marathon Experience for us! I wish I had more words to tell her how truly thankful I am, for her!!…not only have I been given so much from her- but she has also, as I mentioned above, been one of my best friends- in life! I cannot think of a time that she wasn’t present for me… maybe not physical- but always showing up~ birthdays, graduations, marriage- losses and gains. That to me, is the definition of a friend… and bonus, again, my family… my home. ...and both being runners (could write a novel about this), we also have that connection- we have ran together several times, but I think this race together- the Boston Marathon- will be the one I remember the most. Thanks, again, Eileen! Truly, there is- no place like “home”… <3 Thanks for letting me share... and I will be running for you, also my home, on Monday- #USD 329!

Here is a just a glimpse ... of over 100 contest submissions, that I uploaded today for "America's Field Trip"!
Students are asked to submit writing or original artwork in response to the contest’s prompt: “What does America mean to you?”
Again, good luck, Charger Artists!
https://america250.org/fieldtrip/
In 2026, the United States will mark our Semiquincentennial: the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Today’s young people are the leaders, innovators, and thinkers who will shape the next 250 years — and it’s important their voices are heard as we commemorate this historic milestone.
America’s Field Trip is a contest that invites students across the country in grades 3–12 to be part of America’s 250th anniversary by sharing their perspectives on what America means to them — with the opportunity to earn an unforgettable field trip experience at some of the nation’s most iconic historic and cultural landmarks.
