A new student transferred from Savannah, Georgia to my city in SW Ontario--she's in Gr. 12. I was thinking how hard that must be to transfer from one country and cultural climate to another--especially in that last Senior year!
She seems really sweet (I only met her two days ago) -- she brought in her binder, so I could look over what she was taught in her previous year (specialized program--I wanted a peek!).
So, I was listening to these awesome poems the students wrote as an Intro activity (I AM poems, but they love it!), and I look over to the new girl from Savannah, GA and see her bag on the ground. She has a bunch of pins on it and I sit there kinda studying them and, lo and behold, I see a big fat Rainbow Pride pin.
It just made my day.
