People are People

Cassie's school is definitely multi-cultural. In reading lists of students who have won awards, there's not a Tom, John, or Mary in the bunch. Here's a short list of sample names from Cassie's kindergarten class: Alberto, Amarion, Amira, Anastasia, Cartel, Daijanae, Gabriel, Gryphon, Hermione, Jalen, Princess, Quar-tus.

Her teacher distributes "Happy Notes" to students who do good work or behave themselves. When a student collects 10 notes they can turn them in for a prize. Cassie redeemed 10 notes today and chose a stuffed rabbit (like this kid needs more stuffed animals). She's named the bunny "Rashelle."

Even better, she sees nothing weird about that.
