Bravo to all involved in the first TEDx event in Marysville! It was awesome! Ken Chaffin Thomas Holdren Jen Hinderer Katie Morgan Shawn Williams Luke J. Ahern Katie @SupportMEVSD

So proud to be a part of Marysville’s first TEDx event. We have such an incredible community. I left so inspired and encouraged today.

Yesterday was amazing! I am filled with gratitude. (Part 1) The editing process has started. It's going to take a few weeks because I have to learn how to use the software lol but what can I say? This event has been very educational! Thomas R. Cochran Ken Chaffin @SupportMEVSD

They're here! WHIT'S scoop cards for our event VOLUNTEERS! Thank you so much to Whit's Marysville for sending us this delicious gift for our hard-working volunteers. I will message each of you to make arrangements to get yours to you this week.

The SPEAKER gifts have arrived!! These will be going out at the end of the week. I'm so happy we are able to honor our speakers with the long-standing tradition of the TEDx Speaker Swag bag! Thanks again to our sponsors for making this possible. ❤️

It's Earth Day, and we want to recognize Tana Young for her TED Talk about the environment! A 6th grader, she was one of our most prepared speakers. So impressive! We see a bright future for this amazing MEVSD student! (Photo Credit: Amanda Avink) Jennifer Fleece Creekview

Stopped in at Leon’s today to thank them again for providing boxed lunches to all of our speakers, performers, and volunteers at the TEDx event last weekend! The turkey wraps and homemade chips were fantastic and much appreciated! Leon's Garage

Busy editing videos, but I wanted to make a quick post to thank Patty Beery and Krista Beery Fairchild of Energy Arts Dance for being so generous with their time, their talents, their students, and for sponsoring our event! None of us would be who we are today without you. ♥️

Here is a random short clip from Gigi's performance at our event. I am looking forward to TED approving and uploading the entire finished video to the TEDx YouTube channel so I can share the link with you all!

It's official... Luke Ahern has a TEDx Talk! Raise your hand if he is now the most famous person you know. youtu.be/6cZXmMjOpJs @SupportMEVSD Marysville Schools Luke J. Ahern Thomas R. Cochran

Here is a short clip of the Red Chapel Children's Choir's beautiful performance at our event! I'll let you know as soon as TED approves their video and uploads it to the website. That makes four videos submitted to TED, one approved so far, and only 18 more to go! IMPACT60

Presenting Miss Gigi Bix, Marysville's first student to have an official TEDx Talk! Congratulations, Gigi! youtu.be/TPjo9CwW-2I @SupportMEVSD Thomas R. Cochran Ken Chaffin

Also approved by TED today: Terry Hartman and Lissette Walcutt's live performance video! Their rendition of Over the Rainbow on violin and cello is so beautiful, as is their violin duet of a Violin Sonata by Telemann. youtu.be/4d4mRjYqTJI

Congratulations to Vivian, Ellie, Drew, Abe, Livi, and Lake from the Red Chapel Children's Choir on their wonderful performance, now published on the TEDx Talks YouTube channel and the TED website! Thank you also to their teacher, Paul Melcher! youtu.be/XSgU2Sg0OX8

TED has very specific instructions for its speakers, the first of which is this: "Start by making your audience care." Sidney Sagraves understood the assignment! She immediately grabs your attention - and your heart - and doesn't let go. Thomas R. Cochran youtu.be/R4f8vcW8B-0

We are fortunate to have talented people like Paul Melcher in Marysville, who not only performs, but also teaches, and gives so much back to our community! Enjoy his amazing performance at our event. youtube.com/watch?v=wN4gtt…
