Freddie and his Spark of Light. This is from our second K-12 program.Every child carries a spark of light within them—a unique blend of kindness, courage, and love that makes them truly special.
Through these beautiful self-portraits, our students reflected on what makes them their best selves—qualities like being brave, kind, helpful, a good listener, and so much more. 🖍️
It’s heartwarming to see how they view themselves and the qualities they value most. This project isn’t just about art; it’s about celebrating their individuality, their potential, and the goodness they bring into the world.
Let’s all take a moment to reflect on our own “best selves” and how we can shine our light for others.

We love this so wanted to share 😁 Students are exploring what it means to create harmony within themselves and with others. 💕
Through this collaborative acrostic poem, they expressed their ideas of harmony using words and phrases that resonate with them, like “home sweet home,” “making memories,” and “our love together.”
This activity shows how young hearts and minds can envision peace, connection, and love in their own beautiful ways. Let’s celebrate these heartfelt reflections and strive to create more harmony in our lives, just like they have. 🌟

We wish for all this as we move into a new year for all of us. The year will bring its challenges where we are asked to dig deep, and it will bring with it magical moments to enjoy. It will be up to each of us to keep perspective and to face our fears and live with gratitude each day. When December arrives, and we reflect, what do you want your story of this year to tell? #2025 #choices #fear #anxietyawareness #courage

A gentle reminder for all of us: the true measure of kindness is found in the way we treat others. 💖
When we act from the heart, we create ripples of goodness that reach far beyond the moment. It’s in the smallest, selfless acts that we show the world who we truly are. 🌟
Let’s be the reason someone feels seen, valued, and cared for today—because that’s what truly makes us shine. ✨

The one thing I just love about being at conferences is meeting inspiring people!
In this case it was school principals who dedicate themselves every day to create a better environment and opportunity for our children !!!
Education has and is changing so drastically in the past few years that this job is both complicated and multi layered.
Educators have my full respect !! It is one of the most important aspects of our children’s lives.

Growth isn’t always visible on the surface. 🌱 Sometimes, we feel like we’re not making progress, like a plant struggling above ground. Beneath, where we can’t see, the roots are getting stronger. Keep nurturing yourself—even when it doesn’t show right away, the foundation is being built for something beautiful. 💫

In a world where challenges feel big, we’re here to remind our little ones that bravery isn’t the absence of fear, it is the strength to keep going despite it. 🌟
Encourage them to believe in themselves, embrace every emotion, face fears with kindness, and understand that it’s okay to feel afraid sometimes. 🌈💕
