As a result of the money the students raised, Ms. Mikol spent the past week holding up her end of the deal - she agreed to perform various tasks for each benchmark the children reached in their fundraising efforts. Because the elementary students surpassed their total goal, Ms. Mikol went t

Towards the end of school last year, I was talking with some of the elementary children about our growing community. I distinctly remember asking, “Can you imagine 28 students in our classroom next year?”.
