I may have DS...

But DS does NOT have me! And the last
time I checked it did not have you either. 
The sky is limitless for you and I, so it is important for me to introduce myself. I am Fred Peck II and can do anything. I am the future. I am what DS looks like going forward. We Rule. 
Walk with me... Talk with me...

Bright Beginnings supports 
the All Lives Matter Video

Picture
The Song and video written by the students of teacher Pamela Lewis's really hit home with the words that represent the feelings of the students concerning Michael Brown and so many other's. Pamela's goal became a love letter to her students to let them know that what they have to say matters. Understanding this was a teaching moment, Pamela Lewis decided to take this to the next level and teach her students how to make this into a series record and video and thus the All Lives Video was born. Check out he fund me page to find out more. It's worth it!
