Original article: http://www.monroenews.com/news/20170606/monroe-first-graders-author-book-raise-400-for-ann-arbor-hospital
Three first-graders used their love of writing to help children in need. Braden Dean, Graden Dushane and Colton Alston, all 7, wrote the book “Triple Super Ninjas” to raise money for C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, Ann Arbor. The Waterloo Elementary School students raised more than $400 for children in the cancer ward.
“We picked Mott because there are a lot of kids with cancer there,” Graden said.
The boys were selected by student teacher Veronica Jennings to create the book, but the group of best friends chose their characters and the plot of the story.
Fascinated by ninjas and inspired by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the book is about three friends who fall asleep and begin dreaming. In the dream, they become ninjas who help a little girl at school who is being bullied by two other students. The girl is being picked on because she is bald and has cancer.
The ninjas named Raph, Leo and KC, come to the girl’s rescue and use their respective superpowers to help her. The boys are pictured in the book as themselves and as the ninja characters. Raph, who is really Braden, has telekinesis, which the boy loves.
“I can move things with my mind,” Braden said of his character.
Graden, who is Leo, is indestructible.
Colton, or KC, has hyper speed for a superpower.
The book has a twist at the end where the boys learn they may or may not have dreamed the scenario.
Graden’s sister, Bristol, 4, is featured in the book as the little girl. Braden’s older brother, Brock, is in the book as one of the bullies.
“The moral of the story is to be nice and not bully people,” Braden said.
The friends all said they love to write and have come up with a sequel to their first book.
“I like it because writing takes my mind off stuff and I just really like to do it,” Colton said.
“I love to write because it’s fun,” Braden added.
The books sold for $5 around the school. The boys said they became “famous” for their writing but really just wanted to help others.
“We can make a difference and stop bullying and help kids who are sick,” Colton said.
Waterloo Elementary's STEAM Shoppe was recognized by EducationCloset, an national online collaborative publication dedicated to STEAM and arts programs, with an article on June 1 in the "School Spotlight" section.
"As most of us know, schools often need fundraisers throughout the year to support various programs and purchase much needed supplies for their classrooms," Susan Riley's article begins. "These typically involve parents selling various candles, bags and wrapping paper to help support the school goals. Waterloo Elementary in Monroe, Michigan has taken a different approach to their fundraising efforts."
The article continues to describe how Waterloo's winter STEAM fundraising initiative gives kids learning opportunities from start to finish, beginning with crafting gifts and items for sale, then money management skills, and on.
“There are so many life lessons that are part of this process – it’s really exciting to be a part of something like this,” Waterloo Principal Meghan Gibson said.
The article came after Riley, who wrote some of the material Waterloo has studied as part of maintaing its STEAM program, posted on EducationCloset that she was looking for videos of schools integrating STEAM and the arts. The video that Waterloo submitted in conunction with the ISD can be viewed here.
"What a tribute to everyone and their hard work!" Monroe Public Schools Superintendent Julie Everly said. "When I read the article, my mind travels back to the very beginning when we were discussing what STEAM would look like and sound like at Waterloo School. Since then, the growth and journey has been such an honor to be part of-- and a true treat to watch evolve."
Congratulations to Waterloo Elementary for being recognized nationally for its hard work!
