Just think how much we have witnessed and learned over the trimester in the news. Hard to believe we just have a few more days together, but remember to keep focused and engaged. This week we will finish up studying environmental issues and start looking at a documentary called Hoop Dreams. While it has an athletic focus, it is more about what people from different backgrounds go through and value. It addresses education, values, socioeconomic issues, and so much more. When it was created it was a highly followed and talked about film. Some 20 years later I still see value in discussing and learning from what is shared.
