Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Hello from the other side of the rainbow! I realize this “third quarter” vlog is coming at you about halfway through school’s fourth quarter, but it’s still within the first quarter of the year! #winning  And we only just wrapped the Wizard of Oz  this weekend, so I’m doing pretty good on this timing thing. 😉

In just five days, volume 54 of the Faith Academy Tiwalan yearbook is due at the printer. The fact that it’s in a good enough place that I’ve been able to pause work on it long enough to bring you this vlog is quite a miracle. During the middle of second quarter, our school server crashed and we ended up losing 50 pages of the yearbook. It was crazy at first but ended up being a blessing in disguise! Along with the students working hard, the Lord graciously provided my friend Tiffany to help recover the work. She helped me do some extra things that kept everything from piling up at March break. I was able to relax on March break and even take an overnight with my FA employee friends to Corregidor (which should definitely get a vlog at some point in the near future! XD ). Did I mention she never stopped helping?! This weekend we’ll do the proofreading and indexing of the final 24 pages and then it’s off to see the Printer!  (The Wizard of Oz is not quite out of any of our heads yet.)

Don’t forget to drop me a note if there’s something specific you’d like to see a vlog about!

Spring Musical 2011: ANNIE!

This article has been sitting unpublished for quite sometime. I’m not entire sure why 🙁 I will post some up to date stuff soon!

April 14-16, 2011 Faith Academy Presented Annie as it’s spring musical. It was a pretty spectacular show (if I do say so myself). I prepared graphics, did some painting and ran the backstage crew. Woot, go stage crew! It’s been such a sweet experience to be here for this show. Chelsea, who played Annie, was in my drama class in 8th grade as Cindy Lu Who. She sang with same gorgeous voice now as she did then. It seems amazing to me that 13 of the students I had in my drama classes before were in the cast as well as 1 hardcore techie (GO LOGAN!) and several of my elementary students. So great! 2 of my current students, Alex and Heidi) were also in the show.

(As I was running the stage crew all of these production shots were taken by my wonderful friend Chris Kuhlow!)

Senior 2011: Sam Akers

Sam is about to graduate from Faith Academy. Yes, that’s right, he’s the slacker that had yet to get any sort of senior photograph. WOOO way to go, Sam!! 🙂 No, really, Sam’s a great kid that I’ve had the pleasure to get to know in my short times here since he was in 8th grade. He’s got a true heart for the Lord which you can see as he leads worship and the joy that’s evident in his smile. This kid plays a mean guitar and is currently playing the role of Rooster in Annie. I can’t wait to see the amazing things that he’ll go on to do. Congrats Sam.
