Glad to get to give back some helping Happy Roots get the Greenhouse at Salisbury High School mowed and weeded and ready for this school year!

Let’s do it!

I walk the property line every day including Elm Street Farm. and I actually wait to pick up trash because it is so frequent on Elm Street. This is a partial of any 3-4 days. We all are guilty of throwing things out the window or in a closet or one if the many thoughts we put on the back burner of daily problems we all have. Until we ALL see the good out there I will humbly keep picking my trash up and putting it away…

THIS is your brain on :

The Board of Directors of Beacon Hall is proud and thankful to announce we've received grants from the Woodson Family Foundation and the Blanche & Julian Robertson Foundation!
We'll be installing wooden, historically-appropriate windows and plumbing with these proceeds.
THANK YOU to our community foundations.

Music once held an honored place in the Liberal Arts curriculum. That is to say it was considered one of those subjects that have a universal significance, and which therefore form the basis of all education. the seven Liberal Arts- grammar, rhetoric, and dialectic, music, arithmetic, astrology, and geometry- were the basis upon which any further education, personnel, specialized, or vocational was built.

Put the frame together today for a dry fit and see how the templates fit. This has been a good day.

If You Want Smarter Kids Teach Them Music, Not Coding, According To MIT Most parents want their children to be intelligent and successful. And while some experts have pushed parents to teach their children coding, new research is pointing to music as the gateway to smarter kids.

Photographer Reveals the Architecture Inside Musical Instruments A unique perspective.

In the final stage of setting new bottom seal board storyboard and then transfer all measurement over to the final board for window assembly.

Frames are built to go in the top of the Bell Tower. The frames will get a welded 1/2” galvanized wire stapled on. This is to get the building varmint proof.

This has been a long time coming. WE ARE NOW DRY INSIDE! THIS IS A BIG DEAL!!…and I want to thank everyone who has been involved in Beacon Hall and hanging on and believing in our journey to becoming the most talked about music and literacy teaching center for children.

Roof on Beacon Hall is in its last days!!!!

Take a close look… It is close

This morning Tony and I placed each panel on the table on top of cardboard. The template will be the cardboard with wood stiffeners glue the length of the template which will allow one to keep the the template stiff and true and give us exact measurements for the wood frame. Then, we will start the frame restoration. We do not need to move these four panels any more than absolutely necessary, saying that each time we move them it upsets the glass a little.

Shows the size of this window. It is beautiful…

Now all the glass is waterproofed. We will start the template cutting at the first of the week and start building the frame to start the final cut to install glass.

This is absolutely a mile stone for Beacon Hall, Tony Driggers for staying with us thru this last year and a half. ALL THE GLASSWORK IS COMPLETE PEOPLE!!
A lot to get this beauty back where she rightfully should be.. I am very proud to have found Tony. It is bringing us closer to the day we will all be filled with this future teaching center for all. It will be grand.

Sadly, there are so many less fortunate children who do not get the opportunity to explore music and arts.
Beacon Hall plans to make music lessons accessible to all children.

We need the arts! 💯
