I Wish
Inspired by Wish: Wishing Traditions Around the World
by Roseanne Thong 
Adapted by Rachel Wolf Heyman Narrated by Third and Fourth Grade Students 

Making wishes is something we have in common with people around the world. Traditions may vary but hope, peace, and goodness are universal themes for heartfelt thoughts and dreams. At Brimmer and May our mission statement includes a commitment to develop global citizens. The performance focused on the universality of wishing others well regardless of our language or location. Our goal was to foster understanding and appreciation of what is most important in our shared human experience.
As an inclusive private school community, Brimmer welcomes students who will increase the diversity of our school. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, sex, gender, gender identity and expression, disability, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, or any other characteristic protected from discrimination under state or federal law, in the administration of our educational policies, admissions practices, financial aid decisions, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
