Last week, I sent out letters that the 9th graders wrote to the Nobel Peace Prize winner, and author of the novel Night, Elie Wiesel. After reading his novel, the students wrote letters to Wiesel explaining how they felt about his novel (which gives life to his experience as a Jew in a concentration camp during the Holocaust).
Just today, the students received a letter from THE Elie Wiesel (signature and all) expressing his gratitude to the students for their kind words and caring hearts. I am SO proud of the students for taking the time to write the letters, and I am extremely appreciative that such a great, well-established man such as Elie Wiesel would take the time to write back to the students. Great job 9th graders!
Below is a picture of the letter so that all of you can see and share in our excitement!
