Kids Matter

This past month, middle school students were asked to prepare speeches that responded to the question: Are Children Important? Brothers John Sein and John Win decided to write about children from their homeland of Burma.

At NELA, we encourage our students to be leaders who serve and love others—to speak out for what is right and against inequity.

Nataly Romero is a middle schooler at NELA. She aspires to be a writer and journalist when she grows up. When she shared this academic goal with her teacher, Mrs. Hedlund coordinated for Nataly to job shadow writers at Broetje Family Trust.
