A Visit from Mrs. Gordon-Gellar

Recently, the seventh-graders were fortunate to have Mrs. Gordon-Gellar visit and share her family's experiences, especially those concerning the anti-Jewish restrictions during World War II.  One interesting fact is that Mrs. G's mother attended the same school as Anne Frank, though they were not in the same grade.  In a response to her visit, Jack L. wrote, Mrs.Gordon's "family traveled from place to place narrowly avoiding danger."

Students were also able to hold the yellow star that belonged to Mrs. G's mother.

Want to know more?  Ask your child to share what they remember from Mrs. G's visit.  It will make for a great discussion.
