Students from Al-Iman School and the Preeminent Charter School became pen-pals last fall. Over their favorite foods from pita bread to Pop Tarts, they exchanged letters, sharing information about their cultures.
Students from Al-Iman are from Morocco, Egypt, Palestine, Kuwait and the United States. Their teachers wanted other students to know more about them.
"We're such a diverse group of kids, and I know that at this particular school, they usually don't get to see a lot of diversity," teacher Nafia Morgan said.
"No one is different in this world. No one is different. Everybody is the same, Even though [they're] from the same country or different country, they're still the same," student Dahlia Kayed said.
