The 4th-grade students have been reading and writing personal narratives as a part of their new Reading curriculum. One of the personal narratives was a story about a young girl in the 1950s who overcame Polio. Today they all got a chance to write and design handwritten cards for “Cardz for Kidz” which delivers handmade cards to kids in the hospital.
