In social studies we are doing a soapbox speech. The topic I am interested in is having more than one language option at our school(we would still keep Hebrew though). I am really interested in this topic because I do Spanish, but I have to use an online curriculum, which costs a lot of money, and I would much prefer to have a teacher teach it to me. I could use some help finding what classrooms we would have to do the other languages in also. I also want to know if other people are interested in learning a different language, which one.

Dear President Roosevelt
Dear President Roosevelt,
We need to let these Jewish children in our country. They have not only paid lots of money to get on the US St. Louis to go to Cuba, but they are also seeking refuge. Cuba only let 30 out of 937 people in because the had “special visas”! One of the Jews committed suicide, leaving only 906 people hoping for us to take them in. If you want to send them to other Latin American Countries, we can’t because they have already been denied. We also can’t send them back to Germany because they will be sent to a concentration camp. Also, if you are worried about getting them visas we can get them temporary visas during the war. Please consider this.
Sincerely,
Indy
