The Sissy Duckling - Presentation from the LGBTQI Community

Today, 6C and 6D got to listen to and discuss the lessons learned in the book, The Sissy Duckling. They also got to burst some stereotypes that still exist about boys and girls. Thank you, to Madonna Doucette, for sharing her time and information/knowledge with our Social Studies classes!
