We were lucky enough to end the week with an incredibly inspiring visit from author, photographer, Olympian and adventurer Jan Reynolds. She has been all over the world and has a series of books bringing awareness to vanishing cultures. 3-5th Graders are hard at work on their IB, biography unit with the central idea that societies perspective can promote and deny social justice. Students are beginning to choose a person who has worked to promote social justice, to become an expert on. Families and friends are invited to join us on May 4, at 1:00 for a Wax Museum. Students will dress as their person and give a short speech about how their person promoted social justice. We hope you will save this date and come learn more about the chosen historical figures. Here are a few images from the 2017 Wax Museum.
