=Maquan Elementary School Hall of Tolerance= In celebration of Martin Luther King Day, the Maquan School displayed over fourteen projects relating to acceptance and tolerance. Three of the classes projects were created electronically and are attached below.
 * Mrs. Taylor's 1st grade class performed an energetic rap.
 * Mr. Gross' 2nd grade class created a powerpoint titled **__Tolerance and Acceptance__**
 * Mrs. Eccleston's 1st grade class created a powerpoint titled **__We Are all Alike__**



Hi Everyone,

Looking forward to developing a districtwide project for this Day of Service, and I'm writing a State Farm grant to hopefully help with the planning!

Some Ideas so far:
 * Center around the theme of TOLERANCE
 * Reading relates to themes building up to the "event"
 * Possibly connect tolerance to HEROISM/ARMED FORCES
 * Have a K-12 WH Writes around "Tolerance" and create a video for cable access; share writings across district
 * Partner with VFW, local vets to make connection toward their fighting/support to maintain freedoms, increase tolerance, and experiences with other countries, cultures, etc. through their service
 * Create a K-12 service component to the project

All ideas are welcomed! Lisa
