SJHS takes a glimpse back to World War II with Anne Frank

A few weeks ago, the eighth graders at Springville Junior High went back to World War II with Anne Frank in their English classes. According to Mrs. Bass, an eighth-grade English teacher,learning about Anne Frank can help students think about important questions. Mrs. Canar, another English teacher,said, “It helps students appreciate the blessings and advantages in their life and in history. It also teaches them to have respect and to be unprejudiced.”  

According to Mrs. Canar, learning about Anne Frank helps students realize that they can make a difference in life and in the world. According to Mrs. Bass, when you read Anne Frank you can think of the things that you are grateful for and for the struggles in your life. Teaching Anne Frank has been a tradition at Springville Junior High. “There is great information to learn and research.  Covering the play is fun,” said Mrs. Bass.

Learning about this can be beneficial to the students;  Sammy Gutierrez, an eighth grader, said, “ Learning this helps students put themselves in other people’s shoes and value what we have and we can learn about history and English at the same time.”
