Simply Sensational Seuss Celebration

 
Northside Elementary celebrated Dr. Seuss’s 106^th birthday with lots of reading, lots of learning and lots of fun.  While staff members and visitors read Dr. Seuss books to students in the library, classrooms were filled with activities and assignments related to the famous author.  Teachers joined in the fun by dressing up "Seuss" style.  Many wore costumes that represented different characters from the author’s stories.

AMS Students Receive a Unique History Lesson

Angleton Middle School recently opened its doors to a very special guest speaker—a heroic person who experienced one of the most horrific moments in history and survived to tell the tale.

Soula Molho, an 86-year-old Holocaust survivor, spoke to a group of 6^th graders about her experience in Greece during World War II and about the three years she spent in the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp.

Molho came to AMS after she was contacted by 6^th grader Jarod Bluejacket who was studying the event and time period in his language arts and social studies classes.

“We were reading two books about the Holocaust, Number the Stars and Daniel's Story, and we were learning about Europe and Germany,” Jarod said.  “I found out that my dad’s co-worker’s wife’s grandmother was a survivor of the Holocaust.  I thought it would be a neat experience for the kids to meet Miss Soula and see what she has to say, to hear her actual story.”

Before introducing her to his peers and teachers, Jarod met with Molho, an experience that taught him an important lesson.

“I felt sad because I never actually heard a story like that and about what she went through and all the things that happened to her,” he said.  “It helped me to realize that hating is not that important and that there’s more to life than hating.”

When Molho came to AMS, she spoke to the crowd of almost 100 students, faculty and guests, and she urged her listeners to remember what happened but more importantly to “never hate”.

“All I beg to everybody when I talk—don’t hate nobody,” she said.  “It’s no good.  It makes you hard person; it makes you mean.  Don’t—don’t hate.  Throw away hate.”
