Thank you for coming. I learned so much, and I appreciate you having the time to come to my class. I think it’s important to know about other cultures because I live in a town without much diversity. It’s always good to know other cultures and beliefs and to know that not everyone’s the same. I’m always appreciative of hearing about others’ culture and experiences. I always want to know more about other cultures and people. 

My CultureALL family Ambassadors have talent beyond these borders and will share with you talents you've only read about or seen in movies. Great organization made up of individuals that create bridges to show all how our different lives are yet so similar. ¡Viva CultureALL!

Being a participant in the Open Book program, I witnessed people sharing deeply personal experiences. I think two outcomes this event fostered were people gaining an appreciation for self-reflection in the pursuit of becoming—each “Book” thought deeply about how experiences with another person helped them become themselves more authentically, and secondly, while the stories varied greatly, each truth was shared so compellingly, I have to believe that empathy skills also saw gains.

Thank you for such a fantastic event for our students! It was a joy to watch our Maple Grove family be given the opportunity to hear about and engage in experiences that will lead to a greater appreciation for the diversity present in our school, our state, and our world. Your Ambassadors were incredibly impressive! They were informative, engaging, and passionate - I hope they know their value. Thank you for such a great day! 

One of the things I will take away from yesterday was the ability, desire, and skills to connect more deeply and seek to understand the perspectives of others.
