The overarching theme of our learning experience, An American Journey, was Global Citizenship. Our goal was to educate students about the diversity of their peers and community at BMS by providing them an opportunity to see life experiences from other students’ perspectives and connect that to the past. 

Using the Henrico Learner Profile, we created a cross-curricular experience connecting empathy to Global Citizenship, Quality Character, Critical Thinking, Collaboration, and Communication skills. 

As Life Ready Learners, these students are now better able to contribute to solutions that address the needs of a broader community by building global awareness and demonstrating empathy, compassion, and respect for others through knowledge and understanding.
