Kudos to Mrs. Travers, and her students! Most imperative along with academics,is to educate our youth that they are the gatekeepers of the future of this planet..change must start with young children.. My heart was touched by this video.. One of my favorite sayings is: 'I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, and compassionate. It after all, is to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have made a difference that you lived at all.' Leo Rosten

To Mrs. Travers and class. Awesome job! Don't ever lose your hope of a better world and your ability to make a difference. My son has autism and other disabilities. He needs hope for the future, not just from his parents but from his peers, community and world. I cannot say enough about the importance of human compassion and understanding...to walk in another person's shoes...is what separates us from the animals. Bless you all and may you know that your words are truly heard and felt. As JFK said, "A rising tide raises all the ships." You are raising the tide with your work.

The students in Mrs.Travers class worked very hard on this piece, spending countless hours after school and during school to get it completed. I'm glad it turned out so well and that we accomplished such a task. I'm thankful to any person who views our video, because they are helping us in our mission to change the world. I'm sure this won't be the last you hear from Mrs.Travers's class.

This is amazing, I cant believe that people in our own school made this. This is such a true video, and thank you guys so much, it means a lot to me, and people should really think about what kind of world they want, I know that I am, and hopefully other people will too. =] Great job!

My family, my NMS class, and I watched this video. It was well done by the eighth graders of Mrs.Travers! Thank you for letting me donate a dollar to the autism speaks. It might help my cousin because he is autistic.
