Building Future Community Leaders Who Care!

Help me give my students the opportunity to jump into their culture. These books were carefully selected to support our I.B. unit on Sharing the Planet. We will dive further into how people must work together.

My Project

I love my kiddos! They make me laugh and cry. We share joy and hardships. These books like Community Scholastic magazines will give them an insight into how people must be leaders in the community to deal with the injustice, as well as the celebrations that each community experiences.

They will learn how leaders of the past succeeded in making our world a better place by reading and writing about them.

My hopes are to inspire my class to become caring leaders in our community.

Please help me inspire my students to do great things in their communities! We need your support to provide books for my class to explore. They will also be challenged to lead the people in their communities like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.! We need peace in our country. Peace to live and work together as one big family.
