A Continuing Walden Tradition… Sixth Graders Gives Books to Their Mentor Class

Last week was Walden School’s first of this year’s mentor assemblies. Per Walden tradition, 6th graders pick a book to gift to their mentor classes and present it to them in an assembly either as a read-aloud or brought to life in a short performance. Mentors Alex and Jonah chose “Dogs Don’t Do Ballet,” written by Anna Kemp and illustrated by Sara Ogilvie, for the Pre-K Leafy Sea Dragons because they wanted them to know that “even if other people tell you that you can’t do something, you can feel like and do anything you want in life.”
