Winter the Dolphin Inspires Students

After reading "Winter's Tail," an inspiring story about Winter the dolphin overcoming the loss of her tail, students in Mrs. Stephens's guided reading group at Sunrise Estates Elementary School wrote letters to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium (Winter's former home) describing how Winter's story of resilience can inspire them in their own life.
