Thank you Teachers of Olathe, Kansas-and every single one of you-

Back in mid-October, I did a one-hour Zoom training session on S-Cubed for the choir teachers of the Olathe, Kansas school district at the request of one of the teachers in their district.  

A couple of weeks later, one of the teachers reached out to me to say they'd decided as a district to all use S-Cubed Sight Singing Program district-wide, and they needed some input from me to help complete the paperwork (PAPERWORK!!!!  AHHHHH!) to gain district approval for the purchase.  Another week or two pass, and they emailed me the above picture because their request had been approved by the district.

I loved everything about this photo-  I am old, so it reminded me of the "Publisher's Clearing House" surprise squad which I always loved watching.  The impact of a surprise approval or surprise win makes the win/approval even more special.

And ironically, a couple of days after they let me know about the approval, this showed up on my television screen at home randomly as we listened to holiday music.  

There is so much positive "juju" in this story that it reminds me how grateful I am to every single teacher who has followed my work all of these years, helped to spread the word about S-Cubed online and in your district meetings, invited me to do professional development or to conduct your Allstate and Honor's Choirs.  

In this season of Thanksgiving, I had to let all of you know how grateful I am for all of you.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends!

Sincerely,
