WE DAY! Bateman Students Featured on WCIU

Our 5th grade team captains, Emilio Orta, Viviana Montero, Mia Ortiz, Luis Jara, Emily Pillado, Brian Possi, and Rahnier Lyons, have been working on a bullying awareness service learning project. They chose to present their project in the form of a newscast. WCIU and Allstate got wind of our project and wanted to give it some additional recognition. Last Tuesday a camera man and a rep from AllState came to Bateman to interview us and the segment aired on WCIU. 

Today we will participate in WE DAY Chicago. WE Day is a celebration of youth making a difference in their local and global communities. WE Schools is the yearlong program that nurtures compassion in young people and gives them the tools to create transformational social change. If you missed the segment on WCIU, below you can view the video of our Bateman students. We are proud of our Bateman leaders!
