My Motto is "Keep Moving". I hope to inspire the community to 'stay active and move'. In my classes, our favorite musician, Pitbull (Mr. Worldwide), often sings in Spanish and his signature word is "Dale". In English it means, 'let's go, let's move, let's do it'! My Students participated in a contest to name her and the winner was "Dale". We all agree, it's perfect !

Jewels and Jewel tones were the inspiration for Young's Creative Jewelry Heron.

"Land & Sea Protect Me"
Shear Sailing Salon & Swirls & Curls Ice Cream Sponsor
Matt McAllister Artist
Our Sea Turtles on land and sea face threats around the world including loss and degradation of nesting and foraging habitats due to coastal development, pollution, and climate change. Turtles are killed and eggs collected for consumption. Hundreds of thousands of sea turtles a year are accidentally caught in shrimp trawl nets, on longline hooks and in fishing gill-nets. Unaable to reach the surface to breathe, many drown. Only 1 turtle out of 1000 survive hatching
They are an endangered species!
