Dear adults... There is so much to learn from our sts and their desire to make the world a better place, like this at the end of #HWEO with the central idea “People express their beliefs in many different ways.” @MrMaxTalksEd what #openminded #studentagents you are encouraging!

[Andrew Jenkins @principalcda]
