Thriving!

I am really enjoying reading all of your posts about the articles that have been posted so far.  Can you believe camp is now only TWO MONTHS away?!  Wow.  If you haven't been posting, try to go back and get caught up on posts---remember that this is important for our training record for the state.

Also, you should've received an email from Tom Crowe this week regarding the documentation you need to submit for camp.  Make sure to get started on that ASAP! :-)

Now, on to a new item to look over.  We have talked in the past about looking at kids in terms of their assets instead of their difficulties and helping THEM to look at their assets.  This is a list of thriving indicators--things that society values in youth.  We can be a part of their opportunities and supports and the adults that inspire them to develop their sparks.  Looking especially at the first 6 indicators, how can we help our kids in a week of Choir Camp (and other ways/times throughout the year) to not just survive their other 51 weeks of the year, but THRIVE?  Here is the link:

I hope to see many of you on May 19th in Adrian as we again honor Terry's impact in our lives with song. :-)  My love to you all!
