Where You're From Is Who You Are

As part of the Fourth Grade “Who We Are” unit of inquiry, Riverstone Librarian, Susan Tabb, and the students are creating a map that shows where we have lived. The “we” in this project are the Riverstone staff and students. Gathering this information has been humbling.

At Riverstone, when we talk about International Understanding as one of our five pillars, and creating an international culture at the school, we tend talk about the number of international and expatriate students, we have as well as the international experiences our children have through travel. But we cannot forget the experiences that the Riverstone staff members bring to this equation. The Riverstone staff has world experiences that cover every continent, 40 countries, and 40 states plus Washington, D.C.

Thank you to our Grade 4 students for gathering the following information! And thank you to our staff for creating a truly international experience for our students!
