Sunday, January 6
Fifth grade students at River Eves Elementary built a replica of a small “Hooverville” — named after President Herbert Hoover — during December to learn about the Great Depression and the challenges faced by our citizens during that time.

To learn how the stock market crash in 1929 deepened a devastating depression and affected the nation for nearly a decade, fifth graders re-enacted how many people used whatever means they had at their disposal for survival. As Americans were forced to build make-shift homes out of cardboard boxes, used car parts and wood, River Eves students were separated …
