A little bit about myself… “A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people. ” Mohandas Gandhi “ Let’s all keep our traditions alive and learn to share our traditions with others. Remember that these very traditions and cultures make us who we are today. Let us not forget!” Mi Linda Valverde

“…the idea of community and its ties to making a stronger and more collaborative school. ”

Our Universal Classroom Theme! What does universal mean? Guess what it could be? Would you like to buy a vowel? E ____ _____

Stacey can come together! I have seen it before!! Embrace one another and be empathetic!

…Let Us NOT Forget… …Culture Can Bring Us Together! RESPECT ALL!

Last words…. • “Extension's true tradition is manifested in that underlying human element service! That is service to individuals, service to families, service to communities, service to society and ultimately, service to the world. Let us hope that this rich tradition never changes, but merely reinvents itself to serve a greater good!” *Wendi Williams from her excerpt, “The Importance of Tradition. ”
