CONCLUSION
by Karen Clark

This curriculum package invites students and teachers to

develop a sense of commitment to two important actions -
being proactive and being resilient. Evil is this world is all
around, but so is good. Mr. Rogers taught people like me to
"look for the helpers" - it is now time to teach our students
the same. This curriculum expanded students self-
awareness, school-awareness, and community-awareness.
After completing the activities in this curriculum packages,
students are ready to determine tomorrow's history in
today.
