"Students should learn to value the rich human diversity found within different races, religions, countries, and cultures. Appreciating diversity means trying to find the best in all people, just as we want them to find the best in us."

Children’s Diversity Pledge

• I believe that all kids are different and special in their own way.

• I believe that all kids deserve to be loved and respected for who they are.

• I will work on being a good friend, so that all children feel welcomed around me.

• I will not judge people because of where they live, the color of their skin, how they dress, their abilities, their spiritual beliefs, or whether they are a girl or a boy.

• I can and will find the good in all people.

ARTWORK ON EXHIBIT March 6 - 31st

... and here's the work from our high school artists:

Time for a change! Now, instead of the self-portraits, the 5th grade has to trace their hands and color them in. Some fifth graders have made great "Hand Portraits." Here are some models that other kids might want to try.

The fifth graders used very different materials, from pencil to marker to paint. The paper was usually white, but some people used different color paper. The ones that caught other's eyes usually had a variety of colors, an interesting background, and eye-catching ideas. Ms. Palefsky thinks everyone had amazing color and outstanding ideas. Do you think so?

When people work together it's a beautiful thing.
