Students in grades 1-8 through hosted a Tea Party for 5-year-old Make-A-Wish recipient. Chloe.
Chloe’s wish was to have tea with a princess and her puppy, Sophie, that she got following her brain surgery in March. Everyone was decked out in Disney costumes including Chloe as a princess.
Chloe was presented with a scroll that announced “her wish was our command” and that she and her family will be spending a week at Disneyworld! Chloe said she hoped to meet Cinderella and promised to take lots of pictures to share.
BSSS Teacher and Wish Coordinator, Rena Knopf said, “It is because of our students’ hard work and dedication to this cause that we, the little school that could, was able to grant Chloe’s wish.”
“Oh, she will talk and talk and talk about this day for a long time,” said Chloe’s mom.

“The Peanut Butter Bee,” written and Illustrated by Joel Cox, a junior at Christian Brothers High School in Memphis took top prize in the B’nai B’rith International Diverse Minds Youth Writing Challenge. Cox earned a $5,000 college scholarship, and his book was professionally published. This story of a bee that prefers peanut butter to honey will be distributed to libraries and elementary schools in and around Shelby County.
The contest challenges teens to write and illustrate children’s books that explain diversity and tolerance to elementary school-aged children. This education and awareness initiative was created in conjunction with B’nai B’rith programs that promote tolerance and communicate a message of equality. The contest aims to enlighten, inspire and educate America’s young people and their families in an effort to destroy prejudices and strengthen the future of our youth.
The winners were announced May 31 at the National Civil Rights Museum.
