Speakers from Africa

The 6th grade has been so fortunate to learn first hand about life in Malawi and South Africa. Mrs. Emma Mabasa shared about her life in Malawi and current WCS senior, Tyla Palmer shared about growing up in South Africa! We were also fortunate enough to have Mrs. Gadalla and Mrs. Leddy share about their travel experiences in Egypt, Kenya and South Africa.
