Announcement: Seneca Valley Teachers Experience Life-Changing Seminars
Five Seneca Valley teachers recently returned from a transformative tour of the Holocaust in Poland, thanks to a continuing partnership with Classrooms Without Borders (CWB). “Words cannot adequately convey the experience that over 30 educators and I had on our Holocaust educational trip to Poland,” explained Mr. Sektnan. Over the course of a week, the group visited various locations to witness firsthand the atrocities committed by the Nazis against the Jewish community. From the Warsaw cemetery with over 250,000 marked graves, to the Warsaw Ghetto, to many synagogues, Treblinka extermination camp, Majdanek extermination camp, and Auschwitz, every moment was described by Mr. Sektnan as “unforgettable.”
Another group of educators, as part of CWB’s Civil Rights Study Seminar, attended “March Down Freedom’s Road.” This journey took educators, area students, and change-makers on an eight-day journey that started in Atlanta and went through Montgomery, Selma, Birmingham, Memphis, and Louisville, concluding in Cincinnati. Attendees learned about the profound origins of the Black-led freedom movement and explored through unique interactive experiences, including site visits, meetings with contemporary witnesses, curated readings, songs, and group reflections.
