An Awesome Experience at Polaris Expeditionary Learning School
Awesome in Action had a fun day at Polaris Expeditionary School with the Elementary grades during their Wednesday afternoon assembly last week!
I loved watching the kids sing at the end of the assembly!
The students at Polaris were extremely respectful and did a great job participating in our Why Try? Assembly as Nick helped kids learn how to stay positive and reach for all of their goals!
Silly Faces with the Elementary School at Polaris!
We had a great Question and Answer session after the assembly with full participation from all the grade levels, and great respect to each other and to their presenters!
Laughing and singing along!
The team at Awesome in Action is so excited to make a connection with an amazing charter school in Fort Collins!
Awesome Advocate at Wolverine Farm Publishing Co. & Bookstore!
We had a great time with Evan Brengle, manager at Wolverine Farms Bookstore Monday afternoon.
Evan, who has been working to help establish Wolverine Farm Publishing and Bookstore for over 5 years, was a happy, easy going gentleman. As the bookstore manager, Evan embodies everything scholarly; including his favorite pastime, which, of course, was reading!
As we were talking, Evan mentioned he saw Nick’s Spread the Word presentation several years ago at Rocky Mountain High School while working as a Paraprofessional. This is job requires a man who is very kind with a very large heart. We witnessed this amazing amount of patience and understanding, as Evan interacted with the youngest, most wild and unfiltered “employee” of Awesome in Action, Ms. Olivia Rose.
Evan was very patient with our lovely assistant, Olivia, and her sneaky attempts at joining the photo op!
Evan invited us to meet at Wolverine Farms Letter Press and Publick House to discuss the carrying Nick’s children’s books, and gave Nick the opportunity to read Helping in Action during Little Wolverine Story Hour at the Wolverine Farms Bookstore. Date TBA!
Evan was quick to offer many opportunities to connect with Awesome in Action, and to share all the great events hosted by the Publick house. For instance, coming up this Friday, Sept. 30th from 8-10 pm, will be a Talent Show.
We were delighted at the opportunity to connect with this nonprofit company which focuses on literacy and arts in Northern Colorado. It is always awesome when 2 like-minded businesses can pair up to become a stronger source of education and awareness for our community.
We think Evan is a stellar Human Being, and are so excited to see where this connection is Able to lead!
