Eye of the Dragon
John Dewey Academy of Learning * October 23-27, 2017
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
This Saturday, October 28th, is Make a Difference Day. JDAL staff are excited to participate in our local effort by completing some outdoor chores for two elderly couples. We encourage all students and their families to join us in this opportunity to do something good for someone in need! (see below for details)
Although this day is set aside nationwide to encourage others to "do something good," we have witnessed our students taking time every day to do something good for each other. It may be something small, like holding the door open for someone as they walk in, offering help when someone asks for their expertise, or lending a hug to someone who is having a rough day.
It is a proud moment to see such things happening without any prompting from the adults around them. Our students have created a welcoming and caring community that is great to be a part of. My only hope is that others across the world could do the same- welcome each other's differences, celebrate each other's accomplishments, and create a space where everyone feels comfortable to be who they really are.
Thank you for being a dragon! We appreciate you and we believe in you.
With gratitude,
Jen + the JDAL Staff
