🌍✨ Immigration Day in 6th Grade! ✨🌍 Mrs. Higg, Mr. Peters, and Mrs. Nichols's Social Studies classes transported us back to the turn of the century for an unforgettable Immigration Day in which our students simulated the journey from Europe to America through Ellis Island.
They disembarked from their ocean liner, faced health inspections (fingers crossed for no quarantines! 🤞), and showcased their knowledge of their new home as they greeted the Statue of Liberty. 🌟
After passing their Inspection with Ellis Island officials (played by our amazing students!), they were welcomed by Uncle Sam himself! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
It was a fantastic learning experience that brought history to life! Huge shoutout to all the students for their creativity and enthusiasm, and our parent volunteers who made it possible! 👏❤️
🎉🏆 Our OMMS Scholars Bowl teams had their first practice of the year! We can't wait to dive into competition season and show off all their hard work! Let's go, Scholars! 💪📚 ⚡️🔔
