    Making A Difference

    Buckley’s fifth grade social entrepreneur curriculum aims to identify and explore social issues, inspire and equip our students to take action for a change, engage in meaningful ways to help others, and develop leadership skills that affect real change. The goal of the project is to inspire our students to empathize with an issue that needs attention whether local, national, or global. It does not take much to help others. Sometimes the smallest aid can make a huge difference.
