God bless, Mrs. Reyes Merriam Webster defines community as a "group of people who live in the same area" or those that have the "same interests, religion, race, etc." Regardless of the definition, it was wonderful to see persons coming together for a common goal: to help 8th grade work on their networking skills. This morning, volunteers took time off of their busy schedule so that the students could practice how to give a handshake, carry a conversation and practice good etiquette. It was remarkable seeing them in action - they helped solidify the skills that the 8th graders have learned in prior weeks. HW:
