Ribbon Cutting/ Dove Release: Lakevue Elementary School, Nampa, ID

Last Monday, the birds performed at Lakevue Elementary in Nampa, Idaho, for a ribbon cutting and dedication of the new school.

This became one of The Dove Lady's favorite releases ever, and there are so many reasons why. Part of what made it such a great time was the wonderful (and I do mean wonderful) people I had the privilege of working with, such as PTO President Kris Garman and the school's principal Leeta Hobbs.

The enthusiasm of the students was tremendous, and their school spirit was phenomenal. And the doves -- oh, those sweet, lovely doves! They flew from their baskets strong and glimmering. They circled a handful of times, right where all could see them, and then disappeared in the air, just behind the school building. And then, ... as the music hit it's most powerful and impactful crescendo, all of those athletic white beauties came flying back over Lakevue Elementary School, as if on perfect cue. The students all squealed with delight, yet again. The doves (surely pleased with themselves) headed for home.

The Idaho Press Tribune put together a wonderful quick clip of the entire Lakevue Elementary School Ribbon Cutting/Dedication Event. To watch it, click HERE!
