Learners

  Our learners are 8th graders from the suburbs of St. Paul, MN.  The students are coming from varying financial backgrounds as well as language backgrounds.  There are a few Burmese students and one Hispanic student so integrating English will also be important.  Most students seem to have had positive role models and only a few consistently act out.
