Building Community!

Recently we were asked about our #1 goal for STEAM in the PARK. It didn't take but a few seconds to form an answer. We want to build community among educators and give them an opportunity to reflect, refresh, and renew their spirits. That's it! The byproducts are content creation, extraordinary experiences, lifelong friendships, and opportunities to inspire students. 

One of my favorite songs is 'You've Got A Friend" by Carole King. I leave it here for you to sing in your head or if you feel so led, belt it out. We won't contrive JOY or friendship at STEAM in the PARK but we will strive to provide an opportunity for those things to be found if sought. See YOU in the PARK!
You've Got A Friend
When you're down and troubled

And you need a helping hand
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby, to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you've got to do is call
And I'll be there, ye, ye, ye
You've got a friend
If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep you head together
And call my name out loud now
Soon you'll hear me knocking at you door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, oh yes I will, to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall, ye
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, ye, ye, yeah
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them, oh yeah, don't you let 'em now
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again, oh baby, don't you know
Winter, spring, summer or fall
Hey now, all you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will
You've got a friend
You've got a friend, yeah
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
Oh, ye, yeah, you've got a friend
