last second here today that we've done we did one in one thousand nine hundred and this is holy done by the by the staff and the community and the p t a volunteers we could not have done it without any of those ingredients  essentially is an experience for the children to go through the processing of ellis island as an immigrant as a grant as the grandparents may have gone through and they are going to go through interpol questioning where they must answer questions about their behavior and about their intended place of residence they go through medical testing where they're tested for head lice either tested for i have been given eye exams they're then taken for medical testing straight to the cafeteria or they go through a job skill station and they must learn different things like folding sheets or weaving or braiding or sorting or alphabetizing or reading maps they go from job skills directly to a language barrier station where they must answer questions from a job application in a foreign language no english is spoken and they have to realize what their ancestors went through in terms of a language barrier they then go to the g i where they will be listening to the video presentation that was originally done by mr cohen and mr sutherland in the one nine hundred ninety heritage day that we did after that they are atmosphere lightens up a bit because all of our immigration officers someone kind tough problem in the first half of the day so they realize what their ancestors overcame and then the second half of the day is basically shared with a polish reception from polish wedding reception they then go to sending two actors essentially who are draft immigrants i will answer questions as immigrants we have a number of community members who have volunteered their time and efforts to hold the stations for us at the end of the day students are collected in the gym where they are naturalized as american citizens judge for peter from washington county is going to be coming in and naturalizing them the band is then going to play god bless america they will be then to share some of his personal experience with us we're going to wrap it up with songs from the chorus and then we want to start the process so it's a very busy and packed day and does take an enormous amount of energy and time but the community we couldn't have done without everybody that participated in it was a full fledged effort by everyone and he's going to tell us something about what's going on right now were taken for customs when they were being searched for any contraband and then they go into the next stage where there are questions about their past and anything else that they might be abal might ask them about it and the through in order to come into the united states i think they do we're really we're asking like what their date of birth there's i think their crop by surprise when we start asking date of birth place of birth really been strict about it and i think they start to get the idea of it especially like i said taking  fifty children one hundred fifty children are divided into fifteen there are ten one metal medical examiner at each other you made a very official that they go through a history and physical with the children and they also have the children do a variety of task it may be touching their toes it may be taking their shoe off and examining their feet they're doing a head to toe assessment on the children checking the hair for life checking the discoloration or discharge looking in the ears the i'm guessing that they went through a little more expensive than what we're going through we divided the area into three areas disappointing area for people who we feel may have some type of infectious disease that we need to isolate there's also an area for those children who need to go back to their country have things such as weaving and laundry and construction hairstyling and they move from station to station and they are evaluated on their particular skills i think i can occur if you say you are i'm a listening there and some of the words came back to me when i was in french quarter not you were you not to me well that's the idea that hopefully you know will jog some memories with our volunteers and also will create some memories for the students here and what is to have to figure out what the word name is and what the word address means and how to do these certain things and you do that through and through basically just trial and error and following others and
