Today, the Sophomore English class went to the Heart of America Library in Rugby to visit the Americans and the Holocaust exhibit. This is a traveling exhibit from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. which gave students a new perspective on how the US was affected by Nazi propaganda, antisemitism and racial biases, and WWII. Questions to ask: What was one new thing you learned today? What new information made the biggest impact on you? What other questions do you have now that you would like to get answers to after visiting the exhibit?
Thank you to all of the families that attended our TL-M Family Night! We hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did!
