                            A Student Testimonial About The LES Young Historians Program.
                                                                      (June 2021)
"I just wanted to say that history this year was tough to teach, but you really made it a good time for us. Thanks for the amazing graphic novels we read towards the end of this year, even though I don’t really like reading, these books were educating and easy to understand. They really made history much more fun for me. It was such a pleasure to be your student, and thanks again!" -Alice (Class 0f 2021)
