				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Under the direction of a Bates College junior and two Lewiston Middle School (LMS) teachers, a group of eighth graders will host a hands-on &#8220;Diversity Day&#8221; for 30 preschoolers from 9:30-11 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 5, in the Lewiston Middle School Library.<span id="more-23331"></span> Students in Diane Bleakney&#8217;s class have written a book about diversity for the children visiting from Sandcastle and Leavitt&#8217;s day care centers. The authors worked in cooperation with Chris Cook&#8217;s class to plan a day of activities, including touching a live snake, dancing, singing, coloring, reading and photography.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re working with preschoolers because we feel that it is imperative to break down stereotypes when children are still young,&#8221; said Kathleen Burke of Canton, Mass., the Bates student who has helped organize &#8220;Diversity Day&#8221; as part of a service-learning independent study in education. For more information about the activities, contact Burke by phone at 207-777-7632 or by e-mail at this <a href="mailto:kburke@bates.edu">kburke@bates.edu</a>.</p>
