D-E families visited seventh-grade classrooms to listen to students’ “Meet the Challenges and Make It Better” presentations tied to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, which seek to address global issues such as climate change, environmental destruction, poverty, and inequalities. For example, Soraya S. ’30 used her own experiences to speak on the importance of equal resources for all types of learners. Other presenters spoke on plastic pollution in the ocean and the effects of wildfires. “When presented with this project, students took it on with fervor, which gives me hope for the future,” remarked Ms. Pooja Patel P’36, Seventh Grade English/History Teacher.
