Congratulations to our middle school students who earned Spartan shout-outs this past week!
Students in Modern World History completed a unit comparing the Crusades to the current conflict over Israel. Students acted as journalists and prepared high-level, thought-provoking, and culturally sensitive questions to pose to Gaya Dahan, the Israeli Emissary in Rhode Island. Students were deeply moved by her stories about the friends she lost on Oct. 7th and the fighting taking place in Gaza.
