Middle School's Depression Thursday

On Thursday, April 28, Middle School students particpated in "Depression Thursday" to experience a little of what it might have been like to live during the Great Depression. In addition to waiting in line for breakfast and lunch in the Bodine Soup kitchen, students listend to music and radio programing from the 1930's, made children's toys by recycling old clothing, and built a model shanty town from scraps of wood, cloth and cardboard. Though a good time was had by all, the day certainly provided a new perspective on the sacrifices made by Americans who experienced the Depression.
