It's a private school for kids with unique learning challenges.
And one of their core subjects is compassion.
Today, they showed off their service projects for the school year, showing why education matters.
DePaul School is a school for children in kindergarten through eighth grade.
And our children all have something in common.
They have either a language based learning difference.
And so they might have dyslexia or dyspraxia, dyscalculia, and or they may have ADHD.
So an attention based learning difference.
Incredibly bright children, they are able to solve any problem and be really logical.
A lot of energy.
And so what our school does is we know how the brain learns to read.
So we're incredibly good at stimulating the brain so that their weaknesses become stronger.
And then we just super accentuate their superpowers.
And you'll notice on our program, this is our 28th year of doing these compassion projects.
And it really is a celebration.
It's a celebration of the power that we have to affect our world.
Just think about how good our lives are.
You have family that loves and take care of you.
So try to put yourselves in refugee shoes because they literally had to flee their country because they couldn't live their.
It was destroyed right before their eyes.
Our Class K and one were honored and excited to welcome the most recently arrived children from the following countries the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Nicaragua.
Afghanistan.
Cuba.
Venezuela.
Global displacement has reached an all time high.
There are an estimated 100 million refugees and asylum seekers in the world right now.
That means that one in 80, in every 80 people has been driven from their home.
Our hope is that a warm coat hat or mittens will help these children feel the love from these children and the hospitality of this whole community this winter.
They are all have cold over in their country and we are going to give them coats, boots, mittens for them to wear here in the winter.
The DePaul school is celebrating 55 years of educating kids.
It started in 1970.
