“If there is too much focus on non-creative subjects in our schools, I believe that our educational programs across the nation would suffer,” said McCutchon, the current secretary of UD’s NAfME chapter. “Music not only teaches students how to understand and play music, but also key skills such as teamwork, time management, forward planning, and organization.

Today was the third annual Foster Youth Shadow Day. Jacqueline of Duluth, MN was my shadow. She is an alumna of the Minnesota foster system, having been in care from 6 months to age 17. I appreciated hearing about her experience aging out of the system, her relationship with her family, her educational goals, and what she hopes Congress will address to improve the lives of those still in the system. This wonderful young woman has a such a giving heart. I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for her.

Hat tip to the people of Seattle. Stay weird.

My illustrations of Seattle’s neighborhood mascots, inspired by Japan’s regional mascots!
I’m printing 8x10s of them on pretty opalescent paper here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/KittyCassandra?section_id=18071929&ref=shopsection_leftnav_4
