Our first library in the refugee camp now started the construction of the second library refugeestrong.org

Social Justice Club was excited to celebrate our fundraising success at our meeting today. We are grateful to Omar MO and Victoria Jamieson for inspiring us through their book, When Stars Are Scattered, and thankful for the creativity and generosity of the School District 73.5 community!

Ms. Steffek's reading class at Candlewood recently finished the graphic novel 'When Stars are Scattered' by Omar MO. After reading the novel, the class wrote letters to the author thanking him for sharing his personal experience, as well as asking follow-up questions. #HHHCSD

Our students have been working hard on a cool fundraising project for Refugeestrong! They are creating a “pop up market” that will offer a variety of handmade items for sale. Our first pop up will happen in December—stay tuned for dates & product sneak peeks, School District 73.5!

It brings extra excitement when you speak to students with refugee backgrounds. My story is just like any other refugee’s story.
