This week on The Nailed It Wall, Mrs. Scofield and Mr. Lane the STEM Guy are joined by AstroCamp chaperone, former Sierra Verde baseball coach, parent, knowledge seeker, motivator, and all around positive guy, Phil Hoff. On this episode they talk about the changing dynamics of esports and what the AstroCamp experience is like for students. Phil drops some serious knowledge about the power of having kids "Disconnect to Connect" on this field trip, the food, the bonds among students, and having his mind blown on the night hike. You do not want to miss out on Phil's journey, his love of space/AstroCamp, and hearing what podcasts he is currently listening to. The real question is "how many people's names will he mess up just on this one podcast?" The man has many strengths... names are not one of them. For those of you who still congregate around the water cooler this is the podcast they will all be talking about so do not be that one person.

The Sierra Verde Drama Department is the backbone of Sierra Verde's culture. When we say culture we mean "The Teacher Play." It is the hottest ticket on Arrowhead Loop. These two extraordinary ladies talk about what the play means to kids, our staff, and our community. Did you know "The Teacher Play," started out with a spaghetti dinner where the teachers performed a single scene which morphed into an entire play or that you can clean up vomit with a special kind of gel? These are the tidbits you do not want to miss out on when you listen to The Nailed It Wall. These ladies pour an infinite amount of hours into the students (actors & tech), teachers, and our community. The memories, laughter, and stories are something you do not want to miss out on.
