Rockhurst University Occupation Therapy students created a 2nd wave by sending 100 amazing High FIves-Up High to be distributed to essential workers and patients. 
 

The person that inspired this project was in the inaugural class of Occupational Therapists at Rockhurst College! 
A very special thank you to Rockhurst University Students for your creativity, compassion, and action.  What a special way to celebrate the Rockhurst Way.  We wish each of you the best in your own futures!  May you always know what a difference you make!

Students from the Show Me State have shared their not only their wonderful faces but their beautiful art work on their High Fives as well!
What a gift!
Thank you to Miss S. and your amazing students!
We applaud you!
The crowd goes wild!   aaahhhhhh

In the true spirit of any HIGH FIVE, we often connect with perfect strangers for a moment. 
 
I would like to recognize and applaud those of you that have sent in your beautiful HIGH FIVES without a name or place. 
 
You truly represent the generosity of spirit and kindness of which this project was intended.   

Your connection will continue to be shared!
Thank you!
 A special THUMBS UP to Mr. L's class for creating and sharing their very special High Fives!  You are Mighty Mighty Cougars!  
Thank you Mr. L for sharing such important life lessons with your students!
They are so lucky to have such a great human to be their teacher!
 I could not be the person that I am without you!
You are a true and treasured friend. 
I cherish our friendship and am grateful for your never ending support.

A special THUMBS UP to Miss Rachel and her class of second graders from Albuquerque, NM who took the time to create such wonderful HIGH FIVES and sent them to us!   Hey, Cougars, you are very kind and thoughtful!  We love your artwork!  You are going to help make people feel much better!  We are very proud of you.  Thank you!
August 2020  We added a new exciting option!
I like to think of this new school style as the WINDOWS TO THE WORLD!   
It is a  great for way for people to actually see smiling faces!! 
It is also such a quick and easy way to participate!
Simply take a picture of yourself or others sharing a High Five and send it to us!  We will print and distribute it.  We will also add to our wave so that we can share virtually. 
Have fun with it!

Mail sent to the PO Box may have been returned because I did not list the name of the project on the PO box.  I am working with them to change this...' person who takes care of changing the labels is on vacation for two weeks'.       Apparently, if you did not have your return address it simply disappears or joins your missing socks in an alternate universe.  I was unable to get a real answer.  There is more to my 'postal story' but If you do not mind, please send it again or scan and send it to alightwillshine@gmail.com.     I  really apologize for the inconvenience.

Our very first 'snail mail' arrived in our PO Box.  It was unfortunately returned and had to be sent again.  This experience as it made me go a little postal myself.
