A Touch Of Class

The students in room 208 were awarded the Touch of Class award by Channel 9. I am so very proud of everyone for making Melese feel part of our room from day one. I am sure it wasn't easy moving from Ethiopia to Wausau, Wisconsin. Our motto has always been "kindness is universal", but after our diversity unit wrapped up, we added "one person can make a difference". On the first day of Melese's arrival we reflected on our mottos and acted upon them.

Each student has embraced our new student through kindness and compassion. As we were filmed and interviewed for our award, it was great to see each and every student in our room shine with pride. We are able to see how well we work together to obtain success and that is a great feeling! I will keep you informed on the time and date of our Touch of Class episode.
