Ghana Session: Sharing Cultures/Also Student Recognitions and Publications

GHANA SESSION

Just recently one of Mr. Wronko’s social studies classes had the opportunity to video conference with the students at the Solid Rock Foundation School in Ghana, which was led by their teacher Andrew Tekyi Boateng. During this session, the students form the Solid Rock Foundation gave a presentation introducing the continent of Africa along with their country of Ghana. They spoke about the food, sports, resources, technology, and politicians of Ghana. Once they were done with their presentations, Mr. Wronko’s students introduced themselves and also gave a background about their culture. For instance, Mr. Wronko’s students spoke about their family origins such as being from Nicaragua, Mexico, and Haiti. The students from Mexico spoke about holidays such as Cinco De Mayo and Day of the Dead.  Once Mr. Wronko’s students were done introducing themselves, all the students had a long discussion regarding hobbies, school, and goals in life. Mr. Wronko’s students really enjoyed their experience and hope to attend another session with Ghana.

VFW RECOGNITION

In addition to the session with Ghana, Mr. Wronko’s students, Edgar Escobar, Jayanna Lunsford, Ryan Monroe, and Ceahni Piper were all recognized for their participation in the Veterans of Foreign War essay contest the Patriot’s Penn. Ken Hagemann, State Adjunct/Quartermaster, informed Asbury Park High School that out of a dozen entries Edgar Escobar placed second, Jayanna Lunsford placed third, and Ryan Monroe along with Ceahni Piper were recognized for a strong showing.
