On April 6, our second graders experienced first hand what it was like to be an immigrant leaving Europe and entering the U.S. through Ellis Island. Teachers Colleen Carr, Karen Ingle, Anna Isler and Anna Curtis did an outstanding job of preparing the children. Every student created a persona for the day, and memorized their immigrant's name and important information about her/him.

Along with the teachers, the participation of many, many parent volunteers was also invaluable to the success of our Immigration Day (see the ID Thank Yous.pdf). Your support is greatly appreciated!  We also want to extend a special thanks to parent organizers Mari Allen and Suzanne Alpert, as well as to our very own Lady Liberty, Principal Lisa Zimmer. Take a look at some pictures from this fun day!
