Meryl Davis and Charlie White are two highly-accomplished American ice dancers who
have their eyes on the prize as they compete in the 2014 Winter Olympics. As part of the Classroom Champions Program, athlete-mentors "adopt" class 502! Focusing on their own
personal journey, athletes teach young students about the hard work of training, goal
setting, competition and perseverance. "For my students to get to the point where they are able to read and
be confident within themselves to present, including a good number of my
students with special needs", says Mr. Nycz, "it's a huge accomplishment".
Since the Winter Olympics began on February 6th, students in Mr. Nycz and Ms. McLeod's class have researched the steps the Olympians had to take to get to where they are today. One particular student, Joel H., took it upon himself to write an essay about Meryl and Charlie! He discussed the reasons why they will bring home the gold! Click the video below to hear the essay and see how students cheer on their mentors!
