What an incredible day partnering with Rise Against Hunger! It all started with Jacob in Grade 7, who led the entire school to pack 20,000 meals for those in need around the world.

Students remember more when they write it down on paper. Not type it. Not screenshot it. Write it!

The act of writing slows students down, adds tactile feedback, and helps lock it into memory.
