This year students are learning all about global citizenship through our Social Studies project called GOAL Getters. As you may know, we are fundraising this year to sponsor a year of school for a child in rural Nepal. Ms. Adams's class is also fundraising to sponsor a year of school for a child in Uganda. Our classes collaborated to produce our first "film" titled: The School of Hope. This narrative is about a young Ugandan girl named Thea who faces a tough challenge. She dreams of going to school but doesn't have the money and her family needs her help at home. (Did you know that only ONE in five girls in the developing world finish primary school?) Watch our film to find out how children can help each other, even if they live on opposite sides of the world. This is what global citizenship is all about..realizing that we are a global family and that no matter who you are or where you come from, you can always help make a difference. ;)
