Bridging Cultures

A special education interdisciplinary project between our World Cultures and Alternative Curriculum English 9 classes at Newfound Regional High School will introduce students to Three Cups of Tea and follow up with writing introductory letters and sending school materials to one of Mortenson's Pakistani schools. Upon meeting the Pakistani teachers who will be visiting Plymouth State University through the PELI Institute this summer, we will identify which school to "adopt".  Our goal is to build a bridge between two cultures by fostering an ongoing exchange between the students.  For more information, contact Jerilyn Dolan at jerilyndolan@gmail.com and Barbara Cunningham at bcunningham912@gmail.com.
