🌿 Highlighting Passion: National Herbs & Spices Day! 🌶️

Tomorrow, June 10th, is National Herbs & Spices Day, and we are celebrating the unique flavors, passions, and talents that everyone brings to our community!

Just like a perfect blend of herbs and spices transforms a simple dish into something extraordinary, the diverse passions of our community members enrich the world around us. At the Shannon B. Jones Passion Pursuit Foundation, we love celebrating the individual "flavors" and unique callings that drive people to make a difference.

Whether your passion is culinary arts, gardening, or pursuing a completely unique dream, today is a reminder that every single ingredient matters.

And now a heartfelt from our Vice President upon a successful return from

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing with sincere gratitude following our return from the Phi Theta Kappa Catalyst Conference in Baltimore.

First and foremost, thank you for the opportunity, support, and trust that made our participation possible again this year. The generosity, encouragement, and belief extended toward our students and chapter were deeply meaningful. This experience mattered tremendously to our students and stands as a point of pride for our Honor Society and our college community.

The trip was incredibly successful and ranks among our strongest chapter experiences. Students engaged in sustained academic rigor, delivered two major presentations, and represented the college with professionalism, confidence, and integrity.

At the national level, our chapter achieved Top 10% status among all active Phi Theta Kappa chapters, reflecting sustained excellence. In addition, our Honors in Action project received the Distinguished (highest) award, presented during a major ceremony before a large audience—an affirmation of the depth and quality of our students’ work.

Equally important were the relationships and networks formed. Students and advisors connected with peers across the region, including strong engagement with chapters throughout Wyoming and neighboring areas, opening doors for future collaboration.

Above all, this experience was a feather in the cap for our Honor Society and a reminder of what is possible when student commitment meets institutional support.

Thank you again for everything you do to support our students. This was truly a shared accomplishment.

With deep appreciation,
Brian Weaver

Beckett Enos Has Landed at The Rock School! 🩰✨

Ten-year-old Beckett Enos is officially training at The Rock School for Dance Education in Philadelphia—one of the top ballet programs in the nation! After being awarded a full tuition scholarship, Beckett packed up his ballet shoes and took a giant leap toward his dreams.

Beckett discovered dance at age six after trying every sport he could—football, soccer, basketball, tennis—but nothing lit him up the way dance did. He explored jazz, tap, contemporary, and modern, but it was ballet that stole his heart. Now training 18 hours a week, Beckett was recently invited to a national ballet competition featuring over 250 talented dancers from across the country.

Though he admits to being nervous, Beckett says performing is his favorite part of dancing—and it shows. With passion, dedication, and endless enthusiasm, he's ready to grow, learn, and shine on this exciting new stage in Philadelphia.

We can’t wait to see where this journey takes him. Go, Beckett! 👏🩰💫

🦖 Welcome Back, Raven! 🦖

We’re thrilled to share that Raven Spellman has returned from an incredible adventure at the Triceratops Gulch Fossil Dig in Wyoming, hosted by the Morrison Natural History Museum!

As a Passion Pursuer supported by The Shannon B. Jones Passion Pursuit Foundation, Raven spent their time unearthing not just fossils — but also a deeper connection to their passion for paleontology and the natural world.

From digging in the dirt to discovering ancient remains, Raven embraced every moment with curiosity, grit, and enthusiasm. Their journey reminds us of what’s possible when we invest in purpose-driven exploration and let passion lead the way.

Stay tuned for highlights from Raven’s experience — and more stories from our inspiring community of Passion Pursuers! 💫🌍

Please join us in cheering on Raven Spellman as they begin an extraordinary journey through the Triceratops Gulch Fossil Dig in partnership with the Morrison Natural History Museum in Wyoming! 🦴⛏️

Raven is the latest Passion Pursuer supported by The Shannon B. Jones Passion Pursuit Foundation, and their drive to uncover prehistoric life is as strong as the fossils they’ll be excavating. From ancient bones to bold dreams, we believe in fueling passion wherever it leads — and Raven is digging deep in every sense of the word.

Keep following along as Raven gets their hands dirty in pursuit of purpose, wonder, and scientific discovery. 🌍💫
