“It doesn’t take much to give love, to give kindness and to give thought to people.” Richard M. Sherman, #FeedTheBirds ♥️☂️
The Walt Disney Company has shared that Disney Legend Richard M. Sherman has passed away at 95. Last year, Disney shared a video of Sherman returning to Walt Disney’s office to play “Feed the Birds” for ‘Once Upon a Studio.’ This recording was done on a Friday afternoon, which was when he played the song for Walt Disney before he passed away.

Delighted to have been a part of @EducationScot’s #SLF22 today. Loved hearing from @LicketyTweet & their use of the arts & from a YP at @BelmontacademyO! Allowing us to see how trust & relationships can help shape and enact policy.
Great to take part in this panel alongside a young person who brilliantly articulated the need for representation & trusted relationships and a DHT whose school sounds like a ⭐️ example of whole family engagement, early intervention & belief in every child! #SLF22 #Storyplay
