I Am Large, I Contain Multitudes

It was the great American poet Walt Whitman, whom I have heard described as "the chronicler of the cosmos," who inspires the title of this blog, a line taken from his poem "Songs of Myself". There is so much being digested in the belly of LA Scores, and this is our attempt to purge its contents in the classiest of ways (please note we have used to word "purge" rather than vomit).

First, I caught a glimpse of the micro-documentary of our program I mentioned in a previous post...it looks phenomenal. All I ask is a for a little more patience and we will bring you the final product.

Second, we have begun planning for the Inspired Art event which gives local artists a chance to create a masterpiece inspired by the poems of our students. Last year's event yielded many wonderful works, some of which are hung in the office.

Third, on the financial side of things, we have received funding from WSA and the Rose Hills Foundation. Those of you shoulder-deep in the muck of fundraising know what relief this could bring.

Fourth, we have hired two new middle school coaches who go by the names of Jenna Goldfein and Jake Axelbank. They are in their third week of coaching and, judging from what I have bore witness to, are superbly holding up the high standard of LA Scores coaches.

And finally, regular programming will be commencing at all our schools on March 14th. The excitement growing each day is threatening to overwhelm us, but we are professionals. We get the job done.

Just look at all that stuff. LA Scores is a vessel of the Walt Whitman line: I am large, I contain multitudes. And you are, too.
