Media Monday: More WONDERful Visits


Today's Media Monday post is another great example of CCA families bringing Wonder to local schools across the US. Way to go, Peter!

On Feb. 11, Peter Dankelson, a middle school student from Highland, visited Dolsen and Hardy elementary students.

Dankelson made the presentation called “Beyond the Face is a Heart” to Dolsen fourth- and fifth-graders and Hardy fifth-graders to spread the message: “Don’t be afraid to be friends with someone who is different.”

Dolsen’s school rules are “We take care of ourselves. We take care of each other. We take care of our school. We are ready to learn.” This year, the Helping Hands Club is sponsoring a “Taking Care of Others” initiative to spread the idea of the importance of the “choosing kind” concept that originated out of the book Wonder.

Dolsen and Hardy students learned the importance of being kind to others no matter what. The Dolsen Helping Hands Club is working to raise money for Peter and other children born with similar issues.
