Genocide Remembrance Day

Hi Class - 

In the craziness of last week and with us having no class on Friday, I neglected to discuss with you the opportunity to hear a speaker today in honor of Genocide Remembrance Day. 

Steen Metz is a Holocaust Survivor who will be speaking in the auditorium during periods 6 and 7. As time passes, there are fewer and fewer Holocaust survivors alive to tell their stories. This is an increasingly rare and important opportunity, and I'm grateful to all who worked so hard to bring us this remembrance day. If you would like to attend, you will be excused from period 6 and 7 for an in-school field. You will not be able to attend unless you can attend both periods. If you chose to attend, please be sure to check in with me in the auditorium for attendance purposes. I hope to see you 6th period.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Mrs. Allen
