This image neatly captures our day yesterday, as we spent the entire day outdoors at a facility that helps with team-building and community-building.
The central activity is the “high ropes course,” a series of challenges for our sixth graders, and an opportunity to talk about anxiety and reaction to stress, support of your community and individual accomplishments.
It was a great day. The weather held out (we thought rain was coming but it never did) and the energy of the day was overwhelmingly positive.
Peace (high and low),

The photo is inspiring! I hope you have it printed and hanging in your classroom as a reminder of the lessons learned that day. I’ve never done a ropes course, wondering now if I should.
WOW! I find myself holding my breath as I look at that photo. So glad it was a great day!
I’m both inspired and terrified by that photograph. Glad the weather held out, too!
Ha! I would not have been a good team sport. Just watching from below gives me a nose bleed. 🙂
I love how ropes course and team building activities always turn out to be so much more than you’d expect! Great photo!
What a nice day! I’m scared of outside heights. Good job!
