“Having Shawn visit our school was absolutely a wonderful experience for our kids! A fun part of my job is to be involved with the kids as they wrap up their day, getting onto buses, leaving the building, and listening to their conversations gives me great insights into how things are going. On that afternoon, there was so much positive conversation around how we definitely are all part of something bigger, around how we all are connected to each other, and needed by each other. Thank you so much for sharing your story and your gift in story-telling with our whole community.” - Mr. Sturm, Principal
