family roots are documented through a family tree. High school students
branch out with future plans and setting lifelong goals.
- Students study cultures of Europe, Central and South America in sixth
grade social studies.
- Students give a verbal presentation for the enhancement of
interpersonal relationships and diversity learning.

become a more effective teaching tool. Students will be able to trace
family members via the Internet. They will be able to contact areas of
the world where their ancestors have lived. School children in other
areas of the world would also benefit from the interaction.
