From the Mouth of Babes

History is a "favorite topic" for many.  

This week groups of students were reading 

and discussing the story of how Frenchman Frederic Bartholdi worked to create Lady
Liberty, and the challenges that existed in getting
 the massive work "delivered" to New York City.

One child was particularly impressed. 

"I didn't realize the man who designed her was

from France.  I thought she came from Japan.  You know, everything these days is made in Japan."
