Teaming Up With Sycamore School

Olivia and her Lion’s crew

Monday morning brought us all together to Sycamore School.  Accompanied by our various painting supplies we were ready to work.

After Olivia LaField’s visit to our weekly meeting last week and the wonderful project she is taking on, we got on board to pitch in.

It all comes back to the better we raise children to be happy and that they learn they can make something of themselves, society wins.

It is easy to forget little children, out of sight and out of mind.  Unfortunately some of them grow up to be angry disconnected adults.  As much as we might say it is not our problem, the truth is it can become our problem.

Olivia is building a “PAL Zone” room.  It will be a safe room for traumatized children.  A place where they can feel safe and calm down.

Jim and his new invention!

Olivia is teaching the “Skills of Independence” to all the students.  It is very exciting to see the results.  After being told what was expected of the children I could see that they were learning the lessons with flying colors.

During the “Last Day of School” and we were serving the kids lunch, there was some very well mannered children.  With smiles, please and thank yous.  It was very refreshing!

For the participation:  we are not done.  Back to painting on Thursday.
