Things are coming to a head at his job. It’s a LONG story, but the man does not run his business with any sort of integrity and Lee will not be able to work there much longer at all. Promises have not been kept–including things like keeping fuel in his truck so he can deliver [...]
So far James has raised $92 for his project. He’s excited! Thank you for helping him spread the word and for giving!
James and I do art appreciation where we learn about famous artists. I’ve been really happy with this element of our schooling. I really feel it was something I lacked in my own education. We’ve done art projects now and then and draw in the nature journal but learning HOW to draw is an [...]
