WSU GEAR UP

On February 5^th, the group Living Voices presented to a captive 8^th grade audience at Chief Moses Middle School.  Living Voices brought to life the story of Sara, a young girl living through the Holocaust.  Sara is a composite character based on two childhood friends of Anne Frank.  Her story details what life was like for Anne and the millions of Jews living throughout Europe during WWII.  CMMS 8^th graders have been studying the Holocaust and Anne Frank in their Language Arts classes.  Tuesday’s presentation brought these topics to life and helped students connect with the material.  When asked about the presentation, Rita Fryberger, an 8^th grade English teacher said, “It was very powerful and moved a few of my students to tears.”  Wow! There is no doubt that the Living Voices presentation made a large impact on CMMS students.
