. . . they are chomping at the bit, full of desire to change the world, make a difference, have their voices heard, make a statement, be individuals and part of the crowd at the same time. To organize a group of people to do anything substantial is difficult for adults, let alone for kids. But the 8th grade students of Houston Hall at Shaker Junior High School succeeded. They started a movement that caught on to many and captured hearts throughout the hallways and spilled out onto the track and the bleachers today as we took part in our annual hall competition: The Big Track Meet. To describe it in words would not do it justice, so I leave you with photos, photos of how our futures are in great hands because kids today know how to problem solve, how to think critically, how to encourage people, how to join together for a cause, how to show compassion and concern when they feel helpless. Houston 8 . . . remarkable!!
just love that Sam!
