Dryden Believes in Dave Strong

My spoof on the humble and lovable UnderDog superhero as Mr. Fuglestad

A beautiful book showed up in the mail today from my wonderful long-term sub, Mrs. Lewis, Dryden Staff, and all my Dryden Artists. The book is an act of kindness to show how much they care for Mr. Fuglestad and myself during our medical leave.
I feel so fortunate to be a part of such a kind and supportive community. Thank YOU!
The book had a QR code that lead to the digital version on the Shutterfly site. So I can share it below or at this link.
Visit Crowdrise to see a video update on how Mr. Fuglestad is doing. Keep believing!

Photoshlopped image of Mr. Fuglestad as the Tin Man and Mrs. Fuglestad as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.

Sometimes I think about how my life is like the story of the Wizard of Oz. Dorothy had everything she needed in her slippers from the very start to solve her most pressing problem. Yet, she went on a journey full of trials before she understood their power.

Mr. Fuglestad is like the Tin Man with mobility issues. His rusty joints kept him from moving until Dorothy assisted with the oil can.
I wish it was that easy to get him moving on his own again.
I remember being very mystified when I first saw the story that her ruby slippers on her feet (spoiler alert) could be clicked together three times as she said, "There's no place like home" to find herself immediately awakened from a long long dream.

Click, click, click, "Please heal my Dave"

I am feeling very fortunate to have had a chance to be around educators again even for a short time. Now that I've been home on a medical leave to help Mr. Fuglestad, I hadn't been able to get out at all. Actually, this trip to the Illinois Art Education Conference in Lisle, Illinois was my first big outing since the accident thanks to the fact that it was a close drive and family graciously volunteered to help out at home. I am grateful that I was able to congratulate my friend and nominee Deyana Matt for winning Art Educator of the Year and see my student recognized for being one of only 40 artists to have a piece of art in the state-wide traveling art show.

While attending the conference I was able to reconnect with many friends who have been kind and supportive, sit in on some great sessions, and hear some inspirational keynote speeches.

Unfortunately I missed my own award ceremony in Indiana. I was awarded a Jacobs Educator Award however an overnight trip at this point in Mr. Fuglestad's recovery didn't seem wise. I hope to connect with them in the Spring. You can view my video submission for the award in this former post. I just saw that the date it was posted. It was only days before the accident that changed everything. But, the world keeps going, kids keep on growing, and thankfully bodies keep on healing. We hope to be back as soon as we can.
