Students of Tonawanda City School District had a day full of inspiration and educational activities that stressed the importance of literacy, resilience and community connection.
Resilience speaker, expert and educator, Duncan Kirkwood, took over the district earlier this week. At Tonawanda Elementary, he held a literacy party and ABC bootcamp to turn the students into super readers.
In the Middle and High School, Kirkwood talked to the students about overcoming adversity, sharing his messages of hope and resilience in a pep rally-style format.
Students and staff said they left feeling energized and positive about the week ahead.
Thank you to Duncan Kirkwood and his team for stopping by!
