The District will take steps to assure that the lack of English will not be a barrier to admission and participation in district programs.
Lucky for Good: The Final Story in Lucky's Hard Pa.STATEMENT OF NON-DISCRIMINATION (Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973): The Board of Education prohibits, at any district school or school activity, unlawful discrimination, including discriminatory harassment, intimidation, and bullying targeted at any student by anyone, based on the student's actual or perceived race, color, ancestry, national origin, nationality, ethnicity, ethnic group identification, age, religion, marital or parental status, physical or mental disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or gender expression, or association with a person or group with one or more of these actual or perceived characteristics. Small Acts of Amazing Courage by Gloria Whelan. When her friends turn her text messages in to a blog, Gen may have to realize whats really important and see what was right in front of her the whole time. Gen finds herself constantly secretly texting her friends about the horrible life she is having. But will Nora ruin both the good things about the farm? She has three bars, which means she can text her friends! And second, there is a totally cute southern boy here with his family named Caleb. Not to mention the snotty farm girl Nora that lives there. And she is forced to share a bed with her brother. Life on Camp Frontier seems to be just as Gen suspected. Why not just bring the phone with her? Stealing (well not really stealing, it would be hers anyway so.) the phone and taking it with her might be risky, but at least she could keep in contact with her friends right? The only thing keeping Gen from running away is the fact that she gets a phone at the end of the summer. 
What would be fun about living on some farm for the summer? Nothing.
But her mom seems to have other plans and signs her whole family up for Camp Frontier, a reenactment of life in 1890. She had a nice relaxing summer in mind before she started her freshman year of high school.
I will definitely be adding this book to my book case. Even though the main character Gen spends most of the book not enjoying living on Camp Frontier, it made me want go experience what it was like living back in the 1800's (more accurately 1890's or so.) It was a wonderfully written book and has become one of my favorites. Even though I had heard of the Pioneer recreation camps, I had never really given them much thought. I thought that it was such a unique story. Little Blog on the Prairie by Cathleen Davitt Bell was a book that is hard to describe in words.
