An Awareness and Arts Day at T.R. Paul Academy of Arts and Knowledge Kindergarten
Nick, with his Awesome in Action team, was fortunate enough to be invited to speak to the kindergarten class at the T.R. Paul Academy of Arts and Knowledge (TPAAK)this week. Nick thoroughly enjoys keeping it real with young people as they find his method of speaking (a speech device) and his method of walking (atop his flaming hot rod wheelchair) so fascinating. In turn, he helps them understand things like walking, or rolling, the way he does, and speaking with a mechanical voice. He shows how he is able to write his story books and run his business.
On this occasion, the class offered some great ideas for what Nick’s next adventure might be!
Thank you to T.R. Paul Academy of Arts and Knowledge for an exhilarating afternoon with your students.
Sue Schnitzer-Volunteer and Awesome Community Advocate
We met Sue through a phone call to the Glenwood Springs branch of the Garfield County Libraries. Within minutes of talking to us on the phone, Sue had looked up Nick’s book, and agreed to meet with us after the half marathon Mountain to Valley Race with Athletes in Tandem.
An avid biker and runner, Sue was actually going to be at the race herself…pushing a runner for Athletes in Tandem!
Sue hunted Nick down after the race, and after checking out Nick’s book, Helping in Action, she took some photos with us. Sue has volunteered to help promote Nick’s book throughout the Garfield Branch libraries! In addition to helping out Awesome in Action, she gave us some great ideas of things to do while visiting Glenwood Springs. With her suggestion, we took the tram up to Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park to watch a free outdoor concert!
We really enjoyed our time with Sue, and hope to see her perform at the Superheros Songfest at the Main Ft. Collins library on June 22, 2015!
Sue Schnitzer is a true Awesome Advocate, and we are so excited to have gotten a chance to meet her!
