Dear Individuals,

Our class is full of different individuals–we have boys and girls, and tall kids and short kids, and youngest, oldest, and middle siblings. We have individuals from big families and little families. We have people whose families many different languages, believe many different things, and eat many different foods. We have students who were born in Thornton, Colorado and have lived here their entire lives and we have people who were born far away.

And our class is better for all of these diffferences. 

Because each one of us is an individual who gets to decide what kind of person we want to be. Our backgrounds are important and they make each of us unique, but we get to tell our own stories. What is your story going to be?

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
