Teacher: Dana WilkersonSubject: Athletics Grades: 11-12 School: Lynwood High School Location: Lynwood, California Quote from the Teacher: "As I read the explanations on why each student chose her particular organization, I was very impressed with the personal connection that was developed from the brief research. We, as a group, gained a great deal of insight into the lives of each other. It gave each student an opportunity to look beyond her own circumstances and express her compassionate side by helping someone else. " |
