This month's episode centers around the personal narrative. The start of a new year is a time for reflection, as well as an opportunity to consider the year ahead.  The 8th grade students spent much of this month considering values that are important to them, which they considered would  continue to guide them through lives.  Today, listeners will hear some of these personal narrative stories.  The podcast will finish up with a few wishes and hopes for the year to come from some faculty members at our school.
