My feelings:
a project like the one we shared with you
makes the world
a welcoming place. It gives us the
opportunity
to make friends in a different way with
those we may
never met face to face. It opens our
minds and hearts
to the beauty of another country when
we see it shared
by those who love it. It also makes
us more aware
of our own community when we shared it
with the schools
around the world. I was extremely
pleased my
students chose to share the feelings of
warmth of our
community. This was a rewarding project.
Thank you for
becoming our friends!
Thank you for
your kind words, I wanted each child
involved and
hoped this would give you a better idea
about our community.
When I asked the students what
is special
about our community, I received answers
from the heart.
I did not see anyone say things were
special about
Hamilton, rather a feeling of living in
a place where
others care. I was quite pleased but at
a loss of how
to send that message to others.
Our town cannot
grow much as it is like an island with
other communities
growning around it. Our town is very
diverse, with
many Mexican people recently adding to
the community.
They do not speak our language and many
do not like
that. In our school we try to teach a bit
of Spanish
to help the students understand how hard it
is to learn
a new language.
Our town is
old and the new City Building looked a bit
out of place,
but the city added new streets and
lights to make
the city look a bit newer.
It is a friendly
town with people who care, and as a
grandma I love
the scoccer and tee ball leagues around
the parks.
They keep my grandchildren busy and provide
excitement
for me. :)
I suppose I
should have written a poem as I requested
the kids to
do, but I wanted to share my own feelings
about the town.
I did not grow up here, but in a
larger city
and for years I missed the business of the
city. Now I
and thrilled to live here, especially with
one of my grandchildren
living next door to me and the
rest about
15 minutes away. Also two of my
grandchildren
go to school at St. Julie's so I see
them daily!
This is a beauty
of our town!

Thank you for
your interesting and exciting project, "Beautiful Places -
Open Hearts".
I hope that it gets the success and praise that it deserves!
The project
carries a very warm and positive message, that young people
can learn about
and appreciate their own environment, and also that
they can participate,
in friendship, with students of other
nationalities,
exchanging ideas and information about the wonderful
world around
them.
I hope that
this project succeeds in giving our young people and their
teachers an
underlying empathy with other cultures and the ability to
see their own
needs and hopes reflected there.
It is important
for
people to share
ideas with people from other cultures. I think it is the
only way to
work towards a more understanding and peaceful world.

I think the
project was very meaningful for my staff and students. In light of the
recent tragic events in my country, it felt good to hear the nice things
students had to say about their world. Children around the world are very
similar. It gave us all great hope for the future.
