Last week we watched a video by John Green about the purpose of public education. The overall message of this video is a reminder to us of why we are here every day - "let's be 'less stupid together'". After watching the video the students shared with their class why they are here and what they hope to accomplish at school everyday.
- "I am here at Grizzell, every day, to learn. To discover new things. Each day is like a tiny gift. A mystery in the very essence of the word. Each day is an adventure, a chance to find out more about this complex world we live in." A.W.
- "I come to Grizzell so that I can more knowledge through learning, making mistakes, communicating, etc. Also, so that I can get my dream job." M.P.
- "I am here because there are so many kids who don't have the opportunity to go to school, so I feel very lucky to be here. Also I want to go to a good college and become what I want to be. I want to live, not just survive." M.G.
