My 7th & 8th grade students come from every walk of life. They are a diverse bunch that represents almost every country across Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Almost the entire school's population is bilingual, and since so many are immigrants to the United States, they are especially eager to learn about the nation's history. They are eager to gain insight into as many different points of view as possible, always challenging one another to see things through a wide angled lens.
