Hey, I’m Paige and I’m half of Narwhals & Waterfalls. I live with my husband Matt, two kids Ezra and Zoey, & my blue-heeler dog, Luna.I love songwriting, journaling, being outside and reading books about self-growth and business. I am a K-5 Music Teacher in Dallas, TX. I can still remember the first day I stepped into my elementary school campus.

As a Music Teacher, I find myself trying to explain the importance of respect to my students at the beginning of every school year.

We are happy to inform you that we’ve created a song, lesson plan, activities and PowerPoint slides just for this

Trust. Respect. Smiling Faces. Impactful Relationships. These words don’t need to be reserved to describe some Utopian, Pinterest-ready, picture-perfect classroom.
