Holiday break approaching...

We are rapidly approaching our winter break, something students and teachers alike are excited about. Every year, we have students write holiday cards for Amnesty International - it provides a great opportunity for them to do something meaningful for someone else, and is a great teaching opportunity.

This year, we wrote letters to women in Zimbabwe - the kids were able to grasp the concept of why we were doing it pretty readily, and we super into creating the cards.

And, per tradition, we had our cookie decorating party as well.
