(Celebrating 6 months of Greensboro Daily Photo with this post)!!!!!!!!
The beauty of downtown Greensboro is that it is ever changing. Here we see the storefront window from the now-defunct S.H. Kress Store serving as a venue for art by students from one of our alternative public high schools, Weaver Academy for Performing/Visual Arts and Advanced Technology. Art students from Weaver designed the display from items secured from the Teachers' Supply Warehouse. To learn more about the project as well as how you can donate to the warehouse, visit this website. Watch a short video about the creative process with 30 rolls of clear packing tape. What a wonderful way to bring attention to a very worthwhile cause-- getting supplies to teachers. Also, what a way to give back to the community through art. Kudos to the advertising and public relations agency, Bouvier Kelly Inc. for making all of this possible. Just so much giving!
Finally, a friend of ours said this post reminded him of the band DEVO and their song, "Are We Not Men?"
Yep, so much good goes on in "the between." If we can just get it all together ...
Has it been only half a year? It seems like your blog has been part of our blogging life forever. :) Wish you many years of happy posting.

You were right, Jan — I love this post! The art in the display is so fun and colorful, but the idea of a Teachers' Supply Warehouse is even more catching — I think it's a great idea!
Congratulations on your half-year blog birthday! Gosh, time goes by sooo fast! Looking forward to more of your beautiful and thoughtful posts!

I'm a proud alumni of Weaver Academy (though it was Weaver Education Center when I was there, '01). It was an essential component to my early creative years and is a true asset to the young people of Greensboro.
Once again, keep up the great work with the site.
