"Donna weaves a tapestry of stories, both
personal and historical, that simple mesmerizes the students."
Tildenville Elementary School
We
each are writing a story.........its title.............your
life. How do we write it? With
what?
- Using
entertaining excercises* that engage
the personal imagination of success, and stories illuminating
the journey of common heroes', students begin to recognize the wealth
of motivation inside themselves. They
learn that stories of motivation are found in the NFL, racecar driving, musicians,
and in their community.
- A quality
of heroes? Team work. Just two words are easily
said, are they as easily achieved? The art of team work and the rewards
are brought to life: What happens when 10 or more people try
to lower a bar together?
- Habits of Excellence: Curiosity, wonderment and
listening, the fun ways to be excellent.
