I am running late, but finally going to be heading out this morning for North Carolina. I will be heading up 75 and if anybody knows of anyone that needs help along the way, please let me know. I may be stopping in Greenville, SC and heading to Franklin, NC area. Anyone knowing of anyone that will be somewhat on my way or even out of it, I am more than happy to go help if I can

So I am heading to NC with everything I can to help. Picking up my daughter’s cat at WCU as classes have been cancelled for a few weeks. Anyone with helpful stuff or donations toward water and non perishable items would be appreciated. I have some formula and toiletries along with some kid and adult clothes (don’t want to take up too much room with clothes) and plan on getting as many gas cans and as much water and non perishables as I can fit. Maybe blankets? Anything else that anyone can think of. Batteries would be great. And flashlights I would assume. Trying to leave tomorrow afternoon.

Anyone around have a sourdough starter that is active? I have some dried, but I would much rather just start with some that is already going. Anybody have any that they can give me a cup?

This starts my 22nd year of teaching middle school. Yesterday was quite possibly one of the most impactful days I have ever had.
I tried a new activity called “The Baggage Activity”. I asked the kids what it meant to have baggage and they mostly said it was hurtful stuff you carry around on your shoulders.
I asked them to write down on a piece of paper what was bothering them, what was heavy on their heart, what was hurting them, etc. No names were to be on a paper. They wadded the paper up, and threw it across the room.
They picked up a piece of paper and took turns reading out loud what their classmate wrote. After a student read a paper, I asked who wrote that, and if they cared to share.
I’m here to tell you, I have never been so moved to tears as what these kids opened up and about and shared with the class.
Things like su***de, parents in prison, drugs in their family, being left by their parents, death, cancer, losing pets (one said their gerbil died cause it was fat, we giggled😁) and on and on.
The kids who read the papers would cry because what they were reading was tough. The person who shared (if they chose to tell us it was them) would cry sometimes too. It was an emotionally draining day, but I firmly believe my kids will judge a little less, love a little more, and forgive a little faster.
This bag hangs by my door to remind them that we all have baggage. We will leave it at the door. As they left I told them, they are not alone, they are loved, and we have each other’s back.
I am honored to be their teacher.
