A fantastic congratulations to the 2007-2008 5th graders for their momumental work of heart that has moved so many people with our movie project, “The Difference” and their American Red Cross Award for being chosen as “Hometown Heroes!”
This award is generally given to adults who have saved lives or made a serious difference in lives in our community and been given to firefighters, law enforcement and other life saving heroes in the past. Never has it ever been given out to students, let alone 5th graders!
On top of that, the Hometown Hero award is a Nationally Recognized Award that KREM2 and numerous other businesses, associations and societies support both locally and nationwide.
If you missed it, our class was recognized at the Cooper Open House and introduced by our principal Mrs. Williams. However, the actual award presentation is still coming! I believe that includes interviews with KREM2 for the 5th graders, a school presentation, and a business luncheon and more stardom!
Our movie was most recently used at Roosevelt Elementary to help staff better understand the tremendous diversity amongst their students – at one bus stop, there were kids from over 40 different countries! I received another note mentioning how our video was used this summer at Whitworth University as part of a college level curriculum development class for future teachers.
So to answer your question, Stevee Jo, yes. One class CAN make a difference!
