Sheltered Reality

When we walked into the gym for our school assembly Wednesday morning, the place was practically vibrating with drum beats and loud music! It was clear this wasn't going to be any ordinary assembly. A group called "Sheltered Reality" had come to perform for our school, and we all thought they were amazing!

This drum group had the whole school on their feet dancing to the music. They performed several songs and even got teachers and students participating in drum lessons. The speaker shared a simple but very engaging message about personal success and changing the world. They urged each of us to find something we love to do, then use it to help others in some way. Their stories and examples reminded us to take a chance, never give up, and believe in ourselves.

It was a perfect beginning to Club Day. Each student left the assembly to begin a new adventure in their first club and explore a new interest. Many of those new hobbies may become life-long and life-changing passions for the young people in our school!
