Taking my class to see the newest Nobel Peace Prize winner next week

Tweet

Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Ressa attended the high school that I work at back in the 80s. We just had a HUGE building renovation and the remodeled auditorium is being named for her. She visited the school a couple of months ago to meet with some students but will be back on Monday to attend the dedication. We received an email inviting us to bring our classes to the event. My class that period has only 11 students so we should be able to fit in. Not only do *I* want to see her but I want my students to see her as well. They don't pay much attention to news around them let alone around the world. I'm excited to see her!
