I believe that one of the greatest gifts we can give our students, is to empower them to use their words to make change. When I came across this poem by Shelby Leigh, it really spoke to me as a writer, teacher, and parent.
If you have something on your heart today, we hope you’ll write it down…
(and you will be heard).
We invite you to craft a slice of life story (in any form), share a link in the comments section below, then read and comment on the stories of at least three other slicers.
Let’s slice.
Write. Share. Give.
