My Project

Wonder will give students a real-world example of how bullying can be overcome, and how they can become leaders in empathy and empower others to do the same!

Middle schoolers will be blessed with the special opportunity to grow within their social and emotional learning skills, while becoming the most creative articulate thinkers!

They will study and practice these skills a class family.

The Golden Fleece will take middle schoolers back in time on a mythological adventure into adventure that will forever impact their critical thinking and love of reading!
