The St.Francis Oral History Project

We’re looking for stories!

With the passing of famed oral historian Studs Terkel, the 7^th and 8^th graders are embarking on a major project.

The SFX Oral History Project is going to produce two oral history books.

The 7^th grade will do one on people who have moved to America from other countries.

The 8^th grade subject is the Vietnam War. Interview subjects will include soldiers, parents, siblings, college students, war protesters, journalists, etc.

Each student will do two interviews for their book.

If you know someone who might have a great story for either book, please e-mail me at dalelaackman@sfx-school.org.

We may not be able to include everyone, but we would love your ideas.

Thank you.

Channel 2's Ed Curran Visits SFX

CBS meteorologist Ed Curran immediately captivated the audience during his Tuesday, October 7, visit to St. Francis Xavier with a grand entrance on his Segway, and he continued to dazzle our third and fourth graders with an interactive presentation on weather. He simulated a tornado for students while teaching them how meteorologists track the severity of tornadoes. After answering "weather" trivia questions, three students were chosen to ride Mr. Curran's Segway!

St. Francis is grateful to Mr. Curran for the time he spent with us sharing his expertise and getting our students excited about meteorology!
