The danger of a single story
"Our lives, our cultures, are composed of many overlapping stories. Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice — and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding."

How to tell a story Why do we love our favorite stories? Do they need a beginning, middle and end, and a character who changes by the conclusion? Masters of storytelling explore new answers to age-old questions of the craft.

If you are the member DR! this will be the wonderful opportunity for you to explore and learn more about leadership in action.Sign up for youth council by Feb 22nd and the Election is on Feb 27th.

We are blessed to have person like Lauren in our community who genuinely advocates for the students and their parents. Our schools need candidate like her who can make our voice heard at the table. Watch her interview below:
