DETAILS
This week's 8th grade hosts, Piper and Mwanashe, partner up to interview classmates Emma and Ishani. The teens take on the topic of holidays while growing up-- specifically focusing on December traditions and Christmas. They talk about the excitement changes, celebrating in a unique manner, religious differences, travel, gift-giving, family get-togethers, and keeping the holiday spirit through teenage years.
This week’s 7th grade understudies, Nivi and Aaliyah, offer their own opinions on important quotes, meaningful takeaways, and additions or corrections to their slightly older peers.
