Fifth graders were able to talk to Chris Harris the CEO of Humanity Matters of New Zealand on Friday. Chris spoke of his work with the Holocaust and his travels all over the world as well as some of the famous people he has had the pleasure of meeting. Most importantly, he spoke of being an upstander and choosing to do the right thing. Students were also able to ask him questions and enjoy the funny stories Chris had to share. It was an amazing opportunity.

Today, 5th graders heard of the hope filled dreams of Anne Frank and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Mrs. Good challenged each 5th grader to perform a Random Act of Kindness. If students can prove to her on Tuesday that they performed a RAK, they will earn a special treat.
