Potter’s Touch Knowledge Center

A heartfelt thank you to Terracon, Ground Water Protection, Whitted Community Advocate Paul Jes and Jennifer A. Paul for providing our students with an incredible educational experience in the Whitted Historic Community!

Through this hands-on learning opportunity, students explored engineering concepts, water quality testing, pH levels, turbidity, geology, environmental stewardship, and the importance of protecting our natural resources. Experiences like these help bring classroom learning to life while exposing students to potential career pathways and community engagement opportunities.

We are grateful for your partnership and commitment to educating the next generation. We look forward to the great work ahead as we continue collaborating to make a positive impact in our community and beyond.

Thank you Jojo's Bake & MORE! For the t-shirts https://jojosbake.com/

Today we celebrated all the students with a banquet and awards ceremony. These children have grown by leaps and bounds and today we celebrated them. They are achieving greatness and truly had to honor and celebrate them. I’m so blessed to be apart of their journey in greatness.

Today was Family Day… these kids are not just my students. They are my babies, my family and I’m truly thankful to be on the journey with them as they prepare for greatness!!💜🥹

🤞"Not every ending is a failure..."

Can I talk about success for a second?

Because I already knew that success is a very personal word.
And honestly… sometimes we misunderstand it.

For a moment, I thought closing our Downtown shop meant failure.
A lot of people probably thought the same thing.

Until one day (Monday last wk) God reminded me:

“Laura… look at everything you built in less than two years.
That shop already fulfilled its purpose in your journey.”

And He was right.

That space gave me more than a business.
It gave me community.
Love.
People that became family.
A place to survive one of the hardest seasons of my life.

I will always say Downtown St. Cloud is special.
Because it truly is.

But success is also recognizing when something beautiful no longer fits the next chapter of your life.

And maybe… healing is part of success too.

It’s time to slow down a little.
To breathe.
To heal.
So I can continue creating, serving, and impacting others from a healthier place.

Not every ending is a failure.
Some endings are simply God preparing you for what’s next.

¿Me dan permiso de hablarles del éxito por un segundo?

Porque estoy entendiendo que la palabra éxito es bien personal.
Y a veces confundimos lo que realmente significa.

Por un momento pensé que cerrar la tienda en Downtown St. Cloud era un fracaso.
Hasta que Dios me hizo entender algo: (exactamente el lunes de la semana pasada)

“Laura… mira todo lo que lograste en menos de dos años. Esa tienda ya cumplió su propósito en tu camino.”

Y entendí.
Ese lugar me dio comunidad, amor y una familia que necesitaba en uno de los momentos más difíciles de mi vida.

Pero también entendí que sanar es parte del éxito.

Es momento de bajar revoluciones, respirar y sanar para poder continuar impactando desde un lugar más sano.

No todos los cierres son fracasos.
Algunos simplemente significan que llegó el momento del próximo capítulo.
