had an amazing time at Irwin Park Elementary School this week teaching To over 400 kids.
This was our second year teaching at this school and the staff and students were so amazing! They loved our Superhero themed Residency and over 100 parents came to the final Celebration.

The students rocked their Celebration and the Grade 7s blew everyone away with their final dance.

We even had all of the parents dancing with us for the final dance to This Is Me.

Everyone left on a high of energy with their hearts full.

It’s so profound to see a school community come together and dance.

It bonds people instantly.

Today was one of those days that will go down in Brooke’s memory and heart for years and many students and staff said the same thing.

Thank you for trusting us with your kids this week.

We had an amazing time being positive, fun and ourselves!!!

When you give, it is rewarding. In fact, giving triggers the reward center or the mesolimbic part of the brain. It releases endorphins and tells the brain to feel good. It has sometimes been called the helper’s high. This “high” is due to the excretion of dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin, which are all feel good chemicals found in the brain.
