My fifth and sixth-grade students attend a high performing school, which is located in a lower-socioeconomic area, and very proud of the National Blue Ribbon and California Distinguished School awards we've received. Our school is ethnically diverse with students speaking languages such as English, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Japanese, and Russian.
My students are leaders in making and interested in creating a difference in the world!
They are a part of a tight-knit community that supports education. They always strive to do their best and deserve the best!
My Project
The funding of this project would mean a great deal to my students as we are constantly having discussions about tolerance and acceptance in the world. Reading the book "Wonder" will add to our discussions about people and their differences, not only internally, but physically as well.
It's important to expose my students to our diverse world and the different life situations they may encounter.
"Wonder" will help teach my students the importance of tolerance and accepting other people for who they are as an individual. As a leadership-based school that develops students into leaders, this book will help provide important lessons when working with people.
More than half of students from low‑income households
