“Every eighth grade student was challenged to come up with a topic they felt passionate about. From there, students were asked to turn their idea into vehicles to impact other people’s lives in a positive way,” she told Racine County Eye. “The students work really hard on these projects and its evident as soon as you walk in the room.”
