Celebrations of Learning 2010: Folklore Around the World

Ever wonder how the rabbit got its ears, or the kangaroo its pouch? How about the tales behind such valuable lessons as "Don't judge others," "Always be yourself," and "By working together all things are possible"? Our creative, talented, hardworking Jane Addams students present myths, legends, and folktales from around the globe during Celebrations of Learning week.
