Congratulations Nnaemeka!

We are so lucky to have my dad, Vince, helping out once a week in my
classroom!
The eighth grade class from Precious Blood School concluded a unit on
“Peacemaking” with a trip to the Dayton International Peace Museum.
After researching, presenting, and learning about peacemakers, some
well-known, others not, students took a field trip to Downtown Dayton to
visit the Museum.
Jim Hagan, strong supporter and volunteer at the Museum, lead the
students through the three floors of the 1877 house and said, “I enjoyed
the Precious Blood students and think them to be the most enthusiastic
of any I have had the privilege of working with.” Mrs Weizman agrees.
“The students have worked so hard to learn about certain peacemakers
and were really ready for whatever the Museum offered.” Students
especially took lessons from the Golden Rule Room, the Nuclear War
Exhibit, and the Peace Corner.
Mrs. Weizman said, “What a treasure this Museum is for Dayton.
Families and students everywhere need to visit.”
Special thanks to volunteers Mrs. Hickey, Mrs. Mack, Mrs. Dwire, and Mr.
Corrado for helping out with the field trip.
