During the Winter of 2023, students at Allendale Christian School studied the theme of heroism using a variety of texts. Students read stories about heroes from history, such as Harriet Tubman, Miep Gies, and Jackie Robinson, and analyzed what made them heroes and why they decided to act heroically. They applied these same ideas of heroism to our current world and communities, and they ended up finding heroes all around us. They wrote essays about a chosen hero to celebrate the important and impactful things that they do. One student, Ella, chose Our Kitchen Table as her hero! We were honored and humbled by her request.
