Acceptance

For the next 6 weeks or so, our school will be looking at the character trait of acceptance. February is also Black History Month, so this morning we read The Story of Ruby Bridges. All of the Grade 2s were adamant that what happened to Ruby shouldn't have happened, that regardless of her skin colour she deserved to be treated with respect and be allowed to go to whichever school she wanted. One student summed up simply, "It's on the inside what counts".
