School-To-School Collaboration
Dream Flags'. . .!

Building a bridge with Dream Flags takes many shapes and sizes. There have been schools sharing on the Internet, schools sending letters, schools making publications together, and schools visiting one another—all around sharing Dream Flag poetry and flags. This year, for Dream Flags will offer a “match.com” for school-to-school connections!
