Most of the parents were involved based on taking their students
to the library and helping them learn how to access nonfiction materials.
Some communicated stories that they had been told by their parents
about living during World War II. There were some that had come
from other countries. Or their parents had come from other countries
during that time period, and they shared that information with their
children about what it was like leaving. Some even checked out stories
that they had read as children. There were a couple of parents who
took their children to an Anne Frank exhibit that was in the city
at that time. So parents became very involved and interested in
what the students were learning.
