Dumpster Diving

In February of 2024, the Children’s Day School eighth-grade students wrote two short stories in their Humanities class. The first prompt that the students were given was to write a third person story based on photos that students had taken in the Mission District of San Francisco. The second prompt was to write a first person short story from the perspective of a teenager. Students chose one of their two stories to publish in this collection. The title, Dumpster Diving, refers to the exhilaration of finding treasures in the trash. Dive in!
