S-U-C-C-E-S-S...Success!

Let's get this blog started...Clap those hands and bang those desks...cause here we go...

"Who's in the house? ___is in the house!

We do whatever it takes! We do whatever it takes!

To be a S-U-C-C-E-S-S...Success!"

Remember doing that cheer in class?!

Well, I had it going through my head at 6 a.m. this morning as I was getting ready for my meeting with abc.  When I turned on my computer I discovered that my powerpoint presentation was not working properly (yikes!).  As our cheer was running through my mind, I solved the problem, made a few changes and was out the door!  

The meeting was a S-U-C-C-E-S-S!  They loved the idea and enjoyed hearing about my "kids" and how much you inspire me.  I talked with them about our class motto, showing Character Counts, and some of the volunteer projects you did (remember the Katrina Library fundraiser, the school in Afghanistan, the Olympic mural, and all the donations for the families hurt by the wildfires?). I even gave examples of times you showed Whatever It Takes in the classroom.  

Right now it looks like I will be back up in LA next week for a couple more meetings.  It's such fun having all of you on this adventure with me.  Just think of how exciting it will be to watch it on TV! Do you think we should have a party?! 

Keep doing Whatever It Takes...

Much Love,

Miss Hernholm

P.S.  Hmmmm...Who can guess what I wrote after the meeting?

Whatever It Takes

I have to start my first blog by thanking all of my fabulous students from Calvary, Midland Elementary, Westwood Elementary and Washington Elementary.  All of you have taught me the importance of doing Whatever It Takes and showing Character Counts! You have been my inspiration!

As many of you know, I have decided to leave the classroom and work full-time on my kids reality TV show.  I'm excited about getting this show on TV, as I know it will change the lives of thousands of kids and millions of viewers.  

Since I am out of the classroom and no longer able to talk with all of you in person, I decided to create this blog.  I'm hoping that all of you (and your friends) will follow this blog and share your comments and opinions. Remember all the times you got to vote and express your opinion in class? Well, think of this blog as our classroom. Since I am making this show for you...for kids...I need to know what you want!

My first question for you is.... "What should the name of the show be?"  As you know, it's a show about kids getting out there, having fun, and learning.   Any ideas?  Feel free to post your idea on here or send me an email. We will do a vote and the winner receives a prize.  I can't wait to see what you come up with!

I'm so happy to have all of you on this journey with me.  I couldn't do it without you!

Thanks for being the most fabulous students!!! :-)

Keep doing whatever it takes...

P.S.  Guess who my producing partner is?  A friend I made while making ELF.  I know many of you loved that movie and you will love Ellen...she is awesome! 

P.P.S. Just like in class, if I make any spelling and/or grammar mistakes in my writing, feel free to let me know! :-) Hmmmm...maybe I will even do some on purpose to see if you catch them. ;-)
