Special Guest - Studying "The Diary of Anne Frank"

Loysha and Rita C's grandfather talked to the eighth graders about his life growing up in Nazi Germany.  He was a member of the Hitler Youth, received the Iron Cross and was captured and sent to an American prisoner of war camp.
He told the students that it was Hitler's effective propaganda that created hatred.  When asked if it could happen again, he told them that it is still happening in the world and that they must fight it by being educated. :)


A proud grandfather with his grandson.

About Me

I am so happy to be a part of All Saints Catholic School again! I was born and raised in Surrey, England and started my teaching career there. Interestingly, my high school was called St. Anne's College! My husband and I emigrated in 1981 and became United States citizens in 1994. Our two daughters both attended All Saints and Bishop Kelley, and I was active in the All Saints P.T.O and served on the school board during that time. I taught English Language Arts, mainly at the pre-AP level, at Sequoyah and Childers middle schools from 2001-2014. My first love has always been literature, so I am delighted to be sharing that love with your children this year!
