STYLE Session
April 24 – 25
Stand your ground
Don’t be afraid
Stick up for your friends
Be brave
And never give up
don’t pick on people,
don’t be rude
But sometimes you got to do what you got to do
face your fears, you’ll grow stronger
You’ll pull through
Let sleeping dogs lie
Leave people alone,
It’s not as bad as you thought
Then I won’t be afraid
You’ll figure something out and at least you’ll know
Create powerful friendships
Don’t judge a book by its cover
Great things take time
Lucky Me

About the Book
Wonder
By RJ Palacio
I won’t describe what I look like. Whatever you’re thinking, it’s probably worse.
August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face. WONDER, now a #1 New York Times bestseller and included on the Texas Bluebonnet Award master list, begins from Auggie’s point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance.

Hello Dearborn Park students. I’m so very excited to be working at this amazing school. We have a unique opportunity to create something as a team. This is one of my favorite books of poetry I’ve read. Let’s do this.
