Last fall, Mr. Kane's 6th grade class drafted letters to the White House expressing their views on issues that were important to them. Students wrote about how they would like to see the country united, how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted them and their families, and the importance of preserving the environment. Some students even expressed their thoughts on how vital protecting their Constitutional rights as United States citizens is. This fall, the White House wrote back! Our students' voices were heard and acknowledged by the Executive Office. We are proud of our students for making their voices heard and learning about how to be an active citizen!
