    Immigration 

    "We didn’t raise the Statue of Liberty with her back to the world, we did it with her light shining as a beacon to the world. And whether we were Irish or Italians or Germans crossing the Atlantic, or Japanese or Chinese crossing the Pacific; whether we crossed the Rio Grande or flew here from all over the world — generations of immigrants have made this country into what it is. It’s what makes us special."

    — President Obama, November 21, 2014 
     
    What's in your bag? 
    Preparing for a journey can be difficult, but when you can only bring ten items packing can take's on a whole different perspective. What do you value? What do you need? What do you want? Students taking on the persona of self created historical immigrant had just that experience this past week.
