"The Gratitude Project" at Murdy Elementary School in Garden Grove allows the students to share what they learned about gratitude from classroom interviews with real-life war heroes, veterans and refugees.Students at Murdy Elementary School in Garden Grove immersed themselves in a history lesson that is part art exhibit and part writing exercise thanks to a special program involving veterans who opened up about their experiences.
"We got to learn a lot about being grateful, about the veterans and their journeys, and that's not things kids experience so we got to hear it and listen and we got to learn from it," said student Jayia Tigner. "I learned a lot about what happened in Vietnam and the war and I learned the troubles and the things that my family had to go through and other families had to go through," said student Howard Huynh.
"Our school is right at the heart of Little Saigon and in April of 1975, through the early 80s, this is where the influx of South Vietnamese refugees, many of them landed," said Del Carlo.
