Mustard Seed School Gets Noticed
Recently a community group that we see at Sacramento Pipeworks on a regular basis, Mustard Seed School, was featured both on the national NBC Nightly News and on the Today Show.
Teacher Madelyn Hall writes: "I just wanted to forward a link to both the Nightly News and Today Show which had Pipeworks footage. (Pipeworks) is such an important part of their experience at school, I am really glad it got included. The other day I was thinking about all that has happened since the beginning of the school year. The kids were so scared to come down from a climb that they would cling to the wall with fear, and now they rappel down like pros and pretend they are on a swat team. It makes such a big difference to them to be able to trust in a world where they have to second guess everything. Thank you again for a wonderful year. We truly enjoyed the time spent at Pipeworks!"
Thanks again,
Madelyn Hall
4th-5th Grade Teacher
