Symposium on the Great Wave of Immigration

Grade VIII students took their places at the front of the room for their Symposium on the Great Wave of Immigration (1840s–1920s). Each group explored immigration from a different country—China, Italy, Ireland, Mexico, and Russia. Students presented with confidence, while their classmates listened closely, taking notes, and asking insightful questions. Through the presentations, they brought to life the experiences, challenges, and contributions of those who shaped this pivotal period in history. View more photos.
