Next in our Summer Staff Spotlight series is Abi Lewis, another one of our wonderful School’s Cool instructors.

With her third year of Education just around the corner, Abi brings energy, encouragement, and a love of active learning to the program. Through movement, play, and teamwork, she is helping children build the confidence and resilience they’ll carry into the classroom.

In Abi’s words:
“𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘥 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘌𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘳, 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘳.

We love having Abi as part of the School’s Cool team this summer. Her positive spirit is making a lasting impression on both the children and her fellow instructors!

A heartfelt thank you to Keith Shiner, The Shiitake Project, and everyone who came out to Concert in the Trees last weekend!

We’re so grateful for your continued support of SIRCH and for everyone who attended, donated and helped make the evening such a success.

What an amazing community we have!Well folks that was a cold rainy Concert in the Trees! Thanks for those who braved the elements.

So far between money collected on the water and those who have donated online at SIRCH, we are at about $1200!!!

We are still accepting donations. Please use the drop down and select Concert in the Trees so we can track it.
