Editor's Note: The Grade 3 students at Elgin Market Public School have been learning some amazing things about empathy, the environment, caring for animals, hunger, and more, as they slowly transformed a blank, nameless and faceless doll from "Nobody" into "Somebody." In the process, they have learned how much of who we are is shaped by how we treat others, and vice-versa. The following letters to the editor encapsulate the presentations made by several students as they each took "Nobody" home for a week. The "Who is Nobody" project is sponsored by the Kincardine Rotary Club. For more information, check the website at www.whoisnobody.com Dear Editor: We helped "Nobody" for a project. What we did was take "Nobody" home for a week so we could learn about him and teach him things too. I am in Grade 3 at Elgin Market Public School. To get more information, go to www.whoisnobody.com. The "Nobody" Project is sponsored by the Kincardine Rotary Club. Sincerely, Dear Editor: Hello, my name is "Nobody." I am a doll that wants to be a "Somebody" so I can help people. I have had help from a Grade 3 class at Elgin Market. A student in the class does a presentation about me and what I have learned every Thursday. To learn more about me go to www.whoisnobody.com . I’m supported by the Kincardine Rotary Club. PS: I want to learn more about helping people. Sincerely, Dear Editor: I am going to talk to you about "Nobody." "Nobody" is a stuffed doll. We have to do something with him, so I helped my aunt. I helped her when we went to Niagara Falls because she had a new baby. I did it on Feb. 24 to March 2. I learned about responsibility. Go to www.whoisnobody.com or visit our class for more information. Nobody is sponsored by the Kincardine Rotary Club. Sincerely, Dear Editor: I am in Grade 3 at Elgin Market Public
School. Today I would like to tell you about my "Nobody" project.
You need to choose a topic, such as helping people, animals or the
environment. I decided to help people. I love to sing so I wondered how I could combine them together. I chose to go to Tiverton Manor to sing for elderly people. I met this nice lady named Karen. She set everything up. The next day I went there again for my performance. I sang “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus and “Farther Along” with my mom and sister. I read two poems and danced to the “Hoedown Throwdown.” Afterwards, my sister, Lydia, handed out cookies. I practised really hard! There was a parrot named Wolfgang. He was funny and could say his name. I went home and got ready to do my "Nobody" paragraph and pictures ready. "Nobody" and I learned empathy, kindness and to help people. Sincerely,

 The Grade 3 class at Elgin Market has turned "Nobody" into "Somebody" Dear
Editor:
Hi. My name is "Nobody." I am a good person. I have lots of friends because lots of people took me home. I learned lots of stuff, like how to keep the world clean and to help people and not to be mean. What is a "Nobody?" When does "Nobody" come to someone’s house? Why is "Nobody" at school? To find out more information, go to www.whoisnobody.com or ask my sponsor, the Kincardine Rotary Club.
