Photo Treasure Hunt


Something Beautiful: This arrangement of flowers on a windowsill in the library. It looked 
pretty sweet with the light shining in on it like this. #MorningGlory. 
Something Square: The tile flooring on the second story landing of the lunchroom stairs, aka, a
 total cop out because we were running out of time. Ft. Echo's feet. #WhatASquare. 



Something that could catch the attention of a child: The Dr. Seuss illustrated classic, and another total cop out, El Grinch. #AntiChristmas#XMAS?
Something that looks like a face (that isn't one): A (cop out) light socket. #pokerface
Something Round: My friend Zoee holding a fake grape we found in the art closet.
#LooksLikeRiffRaff


Someone I Aspire to be More Like: Once again, my friend Zoee, because her art style is very cohesive and admirable. As the kids say, #Goals

A Unique Angle: Zoee climbing down from shelves in a closet full of mannequins. #UniqueToSayTheLeast

A Book: My pal Zoee holding open a book about planets to a really rad page about gaseous giants. (Thanks again for help with half these pictures Zoee) #BigRedPal


Something that Frustrates Me: Self Explanatory. #IHateSweat
Something that causes Nostalgia: The curvy, wrapped wire of a landline telephone will never fail to remind me of my childhood. I can still envision my mother absentmindedly twirling the tight curls loose between her fingers as she chattered into the receiver.  #HoldONImONThePhone

Someone Who has Taught me Something: Mrs. Peck has never failed to be understanding, inspiring, and motivational in my experience with her. #SheWillHateThisPictureThough
Someone Who Makes Me Smile: My best friend, Ashlee Atnip, never fails to be there to listen to my troubles even when they start to sound like a broken record. They're a true pal, and an incredibly talented writer. They help me grow. #RideOrDie



Something Handwritten: A portion from one of Hannah Duckworth's painting's found in the portfolio room. #ArtIsCool


Something That will Always Remind me of Going to Kickapoo: This was the least offensive representation of our school mascot I could find during the treasure hunt, and that should say something. People should not be mascots. There are reasons that I've never been to a football game during my four years at Kickapoo. As a Native American I honestly feel unsafe, misrepresented, ignored, and beyond ready to graduate so I can finally be out of this appropriating environment. #NoRelief
Something From Nature: A tree in the front parking lot captured from the library window. #Sanctuary

  1. Thank goodness for Zoee! : ) I miss seeing Hannah's handwriting after reading her writing in my classes all of last year. And I'm sorry for the discomfort regarding the mascot...totally understandable.
