Family is EVERYTHING!!!

I can’t tell you how much I miss my classroom...and I know each of my students miss it too, even if art isn’t or wasn’t their favorite. Don’t worry, Art is enough my favorite to make up for all of them and then some. To think it took a global pandemic to teach us ALL the things we take for granted. But in all of our dislikes, the love we have for each other remains. How cool is that?!? That we can still connect, recognize each other, empathize with one another, and continue to forgive one another... because none of us know what we are doing and are bound to fall short here and there. But the community of St. James is like family and family is everything. As a family, we can do this! As a family we must be strong enough and keep moving and doing all the things. I challenged my amazing art students to create a medical superhero artwork to help empower and encourage our local superheros on the frontline of this global pandemic and to also create a face mask that will also serve a great functional purpose. The response has blown me away! During this time, I’m beyond thankful for my family...and every family that I have...at home, at school, at church, near and far...and I’m thankful for my St. James artists, who empower me and encourage me just the same as a superhero would.
