EHS students and teachers met with PA. Representative Reichley during Capitol Day in Harrisburg. Emmaus High School’s students’ shared their project called “Creating a Memoir”. They interviewed senior citizens from the community to learn about living through the assassination of President Kennedy, the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, and even the woman’s liberation movement. The students then edited the recorded interviews and created a movie to capture each senior’s personal story. Movies were then presented to the seniors as a memoir of their life.
