Who likes onions, plays the marimba, makes short movies,

He engaged the students with stories of his adventures as a janitor and how imagination can make an ordinary job an extraordinary adventure. His engaging presentation consisted of hilarious personal experiences, poetry readings using voices from movie characters, and music made from found objects, including our own recycling bin. Mr. Whitesides had the children giggling, listening in awe, asking questions, and learning what it means to turn your passions into creative writing.
