Conackamack ESL students awed by Lady Liberty

Posted Date: 6/06/25 (4:00 PM)

English as a Second Language classes from Conackamack Middle School visited two iconic immigration landmarks on Monday, June 2: the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. For many, it was the first time seeing the monument in person. Students were able to explore Liberty Island and learn about the statue’s construction, the symbolism of the torch and crown, and the millions of immigrants who passed through Ellis Island. Thank you to ESL teacher Nathaniel Sullivan for arranging this enriching experience.
