(ROCKWALL, TX – Sept. 6, 2016) Sixth grade students in Mrs. Perkins’ ELAR class at Springer Elementary School recently participated in an “I Am” project. It taught them how to brave enough to let their peers know who they really are and what they’re going through, all while promoting acceptance and appreciation for the unique qualities that they each possess. “I Am” helped them to see past the stereotypes and celebrate each other’s uniqueness.
One student said, “You know Mrs. Perkins, when I read the wall, we’re really not all that different.”
Stop by the 6th grade hall at Springer Elementary and check out the honesty and bravery of the 6th grade students.
