5th Grade Students Learn About WWI in Blérancourt, France
Each year, 5th grade students are given the opportunity to go on an exchange trip to Blérancourt, France, a village in the Picardie region of France, which was heavily affected by the ravages of WWI. Decades ago, Anne Morgan, American heiress and philanthropist, traveled to this war-torn area and worked tirelessly to raise money and aid the people of the area. Through her work and dedication, the American Friends of Blérancourt was established, and ISTP is fortunate to be a part of an exchange program for students.
