Life's Big Adventure: Just dance

Dance Practice

So in typical Whitney fashion I came up with a grand idea to hold a flash mob at the schools fun fair. I knew I would be able to convince some of the staff to join in on this adventure, so I used my southern charm and had an overwhelmingly positive response. Almost all of the staff were willing to participate so John, Larissa and I started to plan this fun moral booster which was a HUGE success. We preformed it this past weekend and all the kids, parents, and everyone else in attendance loved it. I am so proud of what we accomplished, choreographing, executing and just having a fabulous time together. We even managed to get together at Lori and Keith's the night before for a last practice/dinner/drinks. As soon as I have a good video clip I will be sure to post it. Until then I will keep you all in anticipation, or you can check it out one on my facebook page.

Also this week I was able to take a group of students to Lotus Lake near the school to film some footage for a project they were participating in called One Day on Earth (check out the link here http://www.onedayonearth.org/). Basically it is a project that was started to show what one full day around earth looked like. People from all different countries filmed what life was like for them on 11/11/11 to be placed into this documentary. Our 9th graders split into groups, went around campus and places close to school to film their day, in hopes to be considered. I have not seen the video footage they came up with yet, but I am sure it is going to be amazing. While I was chaperoning, I took the opportunity to play around on my phone camera and came up with some of the following shots. These are things I get to see every day walking to and from school. I am a really lucky person, not just because I walked into the Dragon mouth and out of the Tiger Mouth (it is supposed to bring people luck) but also because I get to see these sights on a daily basis.
