Student, Community Make a Difference in the Lives of Kujawa Elementary Families

Disponible en:

Adrián Amzequita Jr., a second grade student at Kujawa Elementary School, exemplifies all the characteristics of an IB learner. Adrian saw a need in his classroom when he noticed that students didn’t have any school supplies nor a place to carry them. He asked his dad, Adrián Amzequita Sr., if there was a way to help. The elder Amzequita along with the church congregation at Iglesia Bautista Noroeste organized a backpack drive. They donated 15 backpacks filled with school supplies to distribute to some of the less fortunate students at the campus.

The younger Amzequita’s small act of kindness inspired another. The Amzequita family and Iglesia Bautista Noroeste also adopted 10 families for Christmas. On December 19, they presented the families with several gifts for everyone in the home. Their acts of kindness have certainly made a difference in the lives of many at Kujawa Elementary.

The younger Amzequita began his educational journey at Kujawa EC/ PK and has continued in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program at Kujawa Elementary School. He has truly been impacted by the PYP continuum. Within this child-centered, hands-on learning environment all children learn to be aware of the concepts of international mindedness, humanitarianism, compassion, and responsible citizenship. Seven-year-old Adrián is already exemplifying these concepts.

The Amzequita family and members of the Iglesia Bautista Noroeste are pictured with some of the families who received gifts.

Another thankful family thanks donors for gifts.
