TTEC South finishes up workshops with lifted hearts


Another fine finish of TTEC at Hot Springs fall workshop. Participants included educators from this year's TTEC team and alumni from the south region of the AT. Rain did not dampen our spirits and eagerness to learn, share and inspire each other. Many thanks to our awesome leaders, Rita and Julie!

Walkin' Jim Stoltz sings for TTEC

"Every day there is something that I experience that brings me joy, pauses me in wonder, amazes me in gratitude, thrills me in appreciation, and wraps me in beauty." Jim Stoltz

Walkin' Jim Stoltz is a long-distance hiker, artist, poet and musician and brought his beautiful songs and celebration of hiking to TTEC schools this past winter. His multi-media assemblies include sing-a-longs, stories and beautiful slides that are educational and entertaining, and left teachers and students with a greater appreciation of the environment and the Appalachian Trail.
