This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarily through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

Today we had the Clear Spring School Chocolate Festival, which is one of our largest and best school fundraisers. All the parents and kids are involved in helping, both to make and serve chocolates, and to promote the school. You have to know that our helpful and thoughtful students are our best promotion. To see them in action makes us very proud. We had a couple tables for the Wisdom of the Hands Program to display student work and to serve strawberries, pretzels and other food items for dipping in a small chocolate fountain. The cupcake tree shown in the photo above was one of two designed and made by High School students in the Clear Spring woodshop. The photo below is of some of the student work on display. The Chocolate Festival has become a major regional event with people driving in from quite a distance to attend.
