These students were invited to attend the community-wide Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah) held on Sunday, April 28, 2019, at Beth Abraham Congregation where the winning entries were displayed before the memorial service.

Beth Manor, MVCTC Academic Supervisor share, “Thank you to Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Forbes (MVCTC English teachers) for integrating this meaningful project into their respective curriculums.
