NWPA Visits Belz’s Museum of Asian and Judaic Art

Mrs. Myrna Gammon's World History class visited the Belz's Museum of Asian and Judaic Art.  The group continued their multicultural experience with lunch at Wang's Bistro. When asked to review the fieldtrip, the students had the following statements:

Miss Maya Swift reported that her favorite part of the tour was viewing the ivory pagoda. The pagoda was a school with many levels of rooms with each floor representing a higher level of learning. Ms. Swift also stated that she wanted to return to the museum and view more works of art.

Mr. Lawrence James stated that he enjoyed the museum and seeing sculptures made of jade and ivory, but his favorite part was eating sweet’n’sour chicken at Wang’s for lunch.

Mr. Jay Dodson said that he thought the entire trip was fun, and he enjoyed learning about the various Chinese dynasties and sampling the vast array of food available on the buffet.

All of the students and the chaperones agreed that the trip was a success, and they are eager to explore more educational learning opportunities available in Memphis.
