Can. Not. Be. A pessimist.
It's that time of year. The zone where one is forced to endure Osacars, Grammys, Tonys, Ad Shows and cute grown-up political oddities like Virginia's Shad Planking get-together.

Bring on the kids...











3rd place, out of 31 schools. That's Mrs. Peartree, their year-round SPACE* teacher. You go, Girl.

A good year, where once again they beat up on the kids with the greenhouses, augmented technology budgets and antsy "involved" parents.

Next week is 4/5th graders. Wish them Luck!

* Special Programs for Accelerated and Creative Education

UPDATE: Got an email asking about the Kids. Our company, Alchemy, has been coaching Fisher's Mind Games teams since 2002. We augment what they learn in their SPACE classes and teach them to put it all together on the fly, clock ticking. We do similar things with grown-up clients and it's interesting to see the similarities and differences age makes. P'raps I'll post sometime on what we've been doing with their 5th Graders and Leadership & Character Development programs.
