“Selam” from the T.R. Paul Academy of Arts and Knowledge Kindergarten Class!

Selam means “hello” in the Amharic language, one commonly spoken in Ethiopia where Nick grew up.

Nick tells the kids where to sit

He got to share this information, and more, at T.R. Paul Academy of Arts and Knowledge , yesterday afternoon.

 

The Kids listened and joined in to the story, as Nick read his book, Helping in Action.

Hanging out with the kinders!

 

They enjoyed all of the artifacts Nick brought from Africa to share, and had a chance to ask Nick some questions about his life and his childhood in Ethiopia.

Touching the African artifacts!

We are always grateful to the kindergarten teachers, Ms. Jenes, and Ms. Amott, for inviting us into their classroom.

   

 

Hope to see you again, TPAAK!

I loved watching the kids sing at the end of the assembly! 

The students at Polaris were extremely respectful and did a great job participating in our Why Try? Assembly as Nick helped kids learn how to stay positive and reach for all of their goals!

We had a great Question and Answer session after the assembly with full participation from all the grade  levels, and great respect to each other and to their presenters!
