Entheos School

So Jen's friend Emily has a sister who works at an elementary school in West Jordan. So a couple weeks ago she called needing someone to come talk to 1st-3rd graders about art so they could each draw a picture to represent the person they talked to at a Senior Center they had visited the week before. So she said she had seen my website etc and was wondering if i would come and do a 20 min lesson...ish thing about the basics of art and then for an hour and a half after just go around and help the kids with ideas and help them make their drawings better. 
How fun huh?  
so of course i said yes. Especially when she said they'd give me gas money plus $15 an hour! wahoo! :) So i did, and it was super fun and the kids were great. 
So since i've emailed Emily's sister a couple times and requested pics of the quilt they made out of the drawings and are now giving to the senior center as a gift. 
She just sent these today:

Cherise - I'm so glad you had a good experience, and the drawings turned out really great! (I clicked on the picture so I could examine more closely.) You should be an art teacher! You did a great job, and the quilt turned out adorable!
