Kids make cards for injured officer
Kids make cards for injured officer: Many children who live near where a Dallas police officer was shot have been worried about him. So on Thursday their teacher helped them put their thoughts on paper.

The class was called, The Me Nobody Knows", a six-week program developed by Evan Cleveland at The Writer's Garret in Dallas. Course Description:
“The Me Nobody Knows” is a creative exploration of the self, using texts from literature—both classic and contemporary, selections of visual artworks, and visual arts/writing exercises for students to write about (and discover) who they are. Students will begin simply, with a more straightforward form of expression of who they are, and the thematic elements will be more simplistic as well, dealing with a more typical expression of the self, though from a slightly different angle. As the lessons progress, students will dive more deeply and abstractly into themselves, their experiences, and their imaginations, and they will create poster-sized art pieces that reflect that exploration.
The young woman, Ruth, who wrote this had immigrated to Dallas from Ethiopia.
