There aren’t many days on this planet of which one could honestly say, “that was a perfect day”, but this was it. It’s hard to imagine how effortlessly and gracefully the past 3 days have been with 7 crews of ninth graders. The weather is also perfect, though it had little to do with the great spirits of Channelview students.
When interviewing Mr. Grover’s crew at the zip line, students responded that their crew has become much closer than before; that they trust each other and they encourage each other to do their best. It is a rare occurrence when students feel so safe that they aren’t afraid on the zip platform. Myra from Mr. Grover’s crew climbed up the tree in a matter of seconds and just a couple of minutes later, she was gliding into the forest laughing and making siren noises. Her crew members quickly moved the ladder out to fetch her off the zip.
Some crews did their solo either this morning or this afternoon. With the sun warming them and a magnificent view to behold, they were inspired to write and to keep writing in their journals; more than what they were assigned to write by their instructors.
This is just the start of 4 year relationship for Channelview students and their amazing Crew Advisors. The relationships that have grown this week will only be nutured more back at school.
