Blender Valentine Appreciations
It is almost Valentines friends! I invite everyone to think of all the positive people you have in your life and to post an appreciation to them. It would be an amazing thing if the Blenders, past and present... and their friends and families could see 500 appreciations! Imagine all the good will and good feelings we could put out toward others! Think of at least two people to write an appreciation for. Remember to post your REAL name! Happy Valentines Day! I so appreciate all the people who together make the Blenders.

Hey Mark,
Well of course I have a big appreciation for you as my great teaching buddy for so many years in the Blenders and for all those Blenders who are little bit of this and that and who taught us so much!
Happy Valentines Day.
Love, Barbara
I would like to give a special appreciation to Steph, Nick and Jeff. These folks are the ones on a day to day basis who help Lynnette and I keep it together! They are just Super and I send them all lots of love and smiles!
Happy Valentines!
Mark
Within the Blender Family we appreciate Mark and Barbara for their unrelenting work and love over the years. And making the trips happen!
Also the lifelong friends we made or solidified: the Fishers, Delgados, Maclarens.
I would like to give a special appreciation to both Mark and Barbara for being such excellent teachers while I was in Elementary school. Those two years with the Blenders at Lincoln were wonderful! Being a highschooler now, it's hard to believe I was ever even in elementary school. But after all is said and done, you two were there to show me school and life in Ashland. For that, I am eternally grateful!
Have a wonderful Valentines Day!
Rachel
Thanks for inviting me to post valentine appreciations. First of all I appreciate my wonderful husband and children who are loving and supportive and who always try to keep me laughing. I appreciate this fabulous town. And I appreciate the superintendent, principals, teachers, staff and students of this school district, who are working together to create an exciting and healthy place for all children to learn.
Happy Valentine's Day to you all. Love,Ruth
I appreciate that I can walk down to the Schneider Museum of Art, meet the Blenders on the Plaza, and give a tour of current art exhibits on display. I appreciate that Mark and Lynette give the Blenders the opportunity to expand their knowledge by getting out of the classroom and into the community. I appreciate teachers and their hardwork :-)
Of course I appreciate Mark and Barbara for so many wild Blender years, and I also appreciate my boys, Elon and Avi, without whom I never would have been a Blender mom.
I appreciate my rat becuse he is cool

I appreciate everyday that I have with myu loved ones because you never know how precious each moment with them is until they are taken from you.Thanks to my wonderful supportive husband Matt & my two great kids Drew & Ryan.
Mark -- You and Barbara are the two I appreciate. Just thinking of your touch on children's lives pleases me immensely. I am so glad that we were able to develop our thinking and practices for the benefit of children's lives....and the enrichment of ours. KSD
From Karen Dalrymple

Fire you up! Well, pretty soon Mark is gonna tell me to sign off, I just know It! See, see, he's getting up. Oh, he's walking twords, me. Closer, closer. Oh, and he sits down. What a suprise! Next to Anna! Whoooooo! I hope you read this note and write me back. And please don't say "Back at ya" because it's really annoying! One time, I wrote my Aunt a 2 1/2 page e-mail and she wrote back and said "Right Back at ya! Ha Ha!" Isn't that weird!? Mark didn't tell me to sign off! YAYYYYYY! Well bye. P.S. PLEASE readthis note!

Thank you Ellie for sharing her donut with me. (She does not share just donuts.)

Dear Mark, Lynnette, Barbara for their patience and sense of humor, the Blender families for their support,and the kids for their creativity and the way they work and play with so much high energy and how they stretch their abilities every day-they are the teachers
a big appreciation to all of you. It is a lot of fun to work in the classroom growing up with the kids and learning from them, Mark and Lynnette. It is also a privilege. Where else could you get to learn all the math you never understood back in elementary school, ski together,camp together, do community service together (not only plant seeds in an organic garden but get to harvest, cook, eat and share the produce with others!)
I also appreciate Nick, Tonya and Jeff for your love of the children and dedication to their well-being.You are all great to work with!!!
Happy valentines day

I have a big appreciation for my sweetie, Lauryl, who not only allows but helps push me to truly be myself...
I also have an appreciation for Mark and the Blenders who also allow me to be myself...and have helped convince me that working with kids and changing our views on "standard" education are a vital foundation towards making this world a truly positive place.
peace.
Happy Valentines Day friends. Hope you have a great fun day with love and happiness.

I appreciate the opportunity to bake bread with the blenders once and week and get to know each kid as an individual, a baker, and a sculptor. And I am grateful for all of the good work all of the teachers, and aids, do for our children every day. And we feel blessed to have Lynette--who sets high expectations for our children and helps them simultaneously reach those expectations and succeed.
Love,
Jennifer (Hesperus's mom)
