Celebrating Heroes at Lakewood!
Post
There wasn't a dry eye in the cafeteria during this morning's Hero Breakfast at Lakewood Elementary School. Hosted by the Grade 3 Team, the annual event celebrates the culmination of students' opinion writing unit on "Changing the World" and the inspiring people behind their words. Whether a parent, grandparent, sibling or other notable individual in our children's lives, one thing is for certain: there are no shortage of heroes that surround us each day in CCSD.
"Throughout the unit, which focused on special mentors, third graders explored qualities that define a hero from history and applied these traits to describe everyday ones through heartfelt letters," said teachers on the Team. "They also listened to and discussed songs about heroes as well as read poems and stories about them from around the world. We are deeply grateful to our honorees for their positive influence on our students’ lives and for being extraordinary role models!"
