Deweyville 8th Grade Travels to Houston Holocaust Museum

The Deweyville 8th Grade class traveled to the Houston Holocaust Museum last week, the fourth largest Holocaust Memorial Museum in the United States. According to the Museum, the students had the opportunity to learn to be "aware of the dangers which prejudice, hatred and violence brought about during the Holocaust. It also endeavors to remind us that these dangers are still relevant today. The museum promotes understanding, remembrance and education with the goal that both students and the general population stay and become aware of the lesson of these tragic events."

This is Mrs. Skylar Burks and Mr. Houston Jowell's second consecutive  year to bring an entire class to the Houston Holocaust Museum believing that the students are learning a lesson they will carry with them for a lifetime.
