How Will You Make a Change?
|
"
The development of confident, independent thinkers, people of character, and respectful citizens connected to our local and global communities," is one of our Five Gifts at St. John's. We asked our Fifth Graders how they will make a positive change in the world, and each week leading up to graduation we will feature some of their answers.
"I will help solve the problem of pollution."
β
Allyson
"I will help change the world in a positive way by recycling and picking up trash around the Earth."
β
Claudia
"I will inspire people to take chances."
