As part of its week - long celebrations, the National Alliance will shine a spotlight on
charter change makers: the educators, families, leaders, and community members who make charter schools possible and in doing so, make so much more possible for students.
Miss Allie Heemstra and Mrs. Valerie Diebel's classes at the Crossroads Academy (a public
charter school in downtown Kansas City, Missouri) have studied history, visited 10 neighborhoods from Waldo to Pendleton Heights, talked to «
change -
makers» and read about community movements.
