On Monday, Avery, Madison, and Autumn helped Mrs. Morris’ 1st grade @CCE232Eagles friends again with a story writing activity and this crew went to lmagine Furever Ranch to meet some special senior dogs and help clean up their outdoor space.

Kaitlyn and Mrs. Kelly purchased requested food and personal care items and delivered donated supplies to the De Soto Food Pantry today. Thanks to all mvjaguars teachers, families, and students for your generous support. We raised nearly $240 and donated over 150 items!

Emma, Olivia, and Kayla helped Mrs. Gochis, Belmont Bulldogs Art Teacher, prepare banners with artwork to cover the school for their upcoming STEAM night on May 6th. Kayla’s brother, Camden, also stopped by to help his big sister! 💜🎨

Colin and Autumn did an amazing job supporting our first grade friends with another writing assignment @CCE232Eagles today in Mrs. Morris’ room. 📝

We had a great time Avenue of Life today helping organize freezers and prepare the dining area to serve a meal to 200+ folks this evening. Thanks for having us and teaching us more about the work you do in our community to help the homeless!

Today Grace, Noah W, Larissa T, Noah J, and Mrs. Goodman volunteered [email protected]. They sorted various supplies and learned more about the ways this organization supports KC’s environment, education, and homeless population through creative reuse.

This incredible crew volunteered at Imagine Furever Ranch on Friday, 4/29. They cleaned up the property and played with some sweet senior dogs! 🐶💛

Today Dave and Erin from Hollis Renewal Center brought us lots of Lego to disassemble and sets to sort for @TheGivingBrick.

Madison, Emma, and Olivia did a “bead”utiful job sorting and bagging lots of craft beads with me [email protected] today. We also enjoyed a tour and learned more about their mission of sustainability and repurposing to help our environment and those who struggle with homelessness.

Emma and I had a great time helping Mrs. Pursell Riverview Elementary today finishing up the author welcome banner for their upcoming event. Looking forward to stopping by for the fun on May 12th if we can!

Congrats to the Voyagers class of 2022! It’s been an honor to work with dedicated scholars and talented student-leaders like you. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter!

Autumn and I got a chance to celebrate children’s book illustrator Lee Harper’s visit to Riverview Elementary today and assist Mrs. Pursell with taking down projects for student portfolios.

Today our Model UN team met with Mrs. Russell’s Elementary Voyagers to share about our experience at the Metro KC Model UN competition at JCCC in April. It was fun answering their questions and getting them hyped to participate in their own conference about food insecurity today.

Just received an awesomely generous donation of gourmet popcorn from Double Good! Can’t wait to share with my incredible colleagues mvjaguars! Thanks for the special delivery on the seniors last day of school. Perfect fuel as we begin finals week for 9-11 graders tomorrow!

Let the Double Good popcorn palooza orders and distribution commence! 🍿

It was “mint” to be that we could use a bonus Amazon shipment to share this “life-saving” advice from Betty White with our Voyagers students as they navigate finals. And, if you can’t drop by the Voyagers room for a mint, you should have your own emergency stash. 🛟😂

Congrats to the Class of 2022!

It’s my final post as the MVHS Voyagers teacher. It’s been an incredible journey working with so many amazing people. New adventures await, but I believe that Quin Showalter’s adage, “Once a Voyager, Always a Voyager,” is true for me, too. Thanks for your trust and support!
