A local feels-great education story

by David Safier
It's the main story on the Star's front page. TUSD's Palo Verde High landed a $265,000 grant to be part of DNA research on Holocaust survivors.

. . . they'll aid in the creation of a virtual memorial, envisioned as a Facebook-style social networking site that could help survivors, separated by distance and generations from long-dispersed relatives, look for links in shared histories.

Palo Verde is the only Arizona school involved in the project, which will involve 25 school systems nationwide.

All kinds of praise and congratulations to biology teacher Kevin Kehl and the students who are working with him.

If you read through the article, you'll see they want to make this an interdisciplinary effort, involving history and English classes. The project is a perfect fit.
