A Day No Pigs Would Die

GSA’s 8th grade Language Arts students dedicated the month of November to reading “A Day No Pigs Would Die” and thinking about their beliefs. At the end of the month, they wrote This I Believe essays. This I Believe is an international organization engaging people in writing and sharing essays describing the core values that guide their daily lives. Over 100,000 of these essays, written by people from all walks of life, are archived on their website, heard on public radio, chronicled through books, and featured in weekly podcasts. The project is based on the popular 1950s radio series of the same name hosted by Edward R. Murrow
