Maple Hills Elementary School (MHES), a K-8 school in a rural farming community in the Midwest, is facing a changing landscape involving culture, language, and traditional approaches to special education. Historically, the community was predominately White, with German and English heritage, native English speakers, and identify as Protestant Christians dating back generations. However, through two recent waves of immigration influx, the community’s diversity has broadened. The first wave brought transient immigrants from Mexico and the Dominican Republic who were drawn to farm work and construction. Many parents in these families had minimal previous formal schooling. The second wave of immigration brought physicians and other professional personnel when a large regional medical center was built. Alternatively, these families had quite high levels of formal schooling and worked middle and upper-middle class jobs. The Maple Hills’ historically homogenous community structure has ultimately been altered from the immigration waves.

The characters are from a poor socioeconomic background, but they are still able to find the Christmas spirit. The wealth of their friendship and the gift of giving make them oblivious to the depression around them. In one particular scene, the friends are baking fruitcakes. They decide that the cakes are for “friends. Not necessarily neighbor friends: indeed, the larger share are intended for persons we’ve met maybe once, perhaps not at all”(Capote).

Through his interactions with Jefferson and his direct community, Grant, even unintentionally, develops his understanding of life beyond the grasp
