Because of a generous starter donation, we are able to get this program up and running. With this program, each classroom will be given an IB –centered book to discuss and read together. Then we will have IB learner profile related discussions and reflections via the morning news program. Based on a true story, The Royal Bee is an elegantly written tale that pays tribute to a young boy's courage and strength of character. Song-ho is a young Korean boy destined by birth to a life of poverty. Barred from going to school--only the sons of wealthy families could attend--he dreams of learning to read and write. Then one day he hears the sound of a school bell and follows it deep into the valley. There, the school master turns him away, but Song-ho's boldness and determination earn him a chance at gaining an education nevertheless. Dramatically illustrated with richly textured oil paintings, the story offers glimpses of daily life in Korea a century ago--for both the rich and the poor. If you are interested in helping support the attributes of an IB learner through a donation to the Principals’  Book Club, please contact Gay Wilkinson at 481-1761.
