HAFTR’s eighth grade students enjoyed a class trip to Ellis Island as part of Ms. Zweibon’s eighth grade American History study of immigration at the turn of the twentieth century. The students were able to feel what it was like to come over by boat and land at Ellis Island. How breathtaking for students to experience what generations earlier experienced—to stream into New York Harbor and see Lady Liberty welcoming them with her uplifted beacon. The students had a great appreciation for this experiential learning opportunity. For more information, visit HAFTR.org. 
