A GREAT RESOURCE FOR ENGLISH AND SOCIAL STUDIES CLASSES, ADULT LEARNERS, \u2018ENGLISH LEARNER\u2019 CLASSROOMS, AND BOOK CLUBS!<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_column_text]In the year that we initially published Green Card Youth Voices: Stories from a Fargo High School<\/em>, Fargo had seen the largest growth in its immigrant population to date. That same year, a Somali restaurant in Grand Forks was firebombed, and while the immigrant population grew, anti-immigrant sentiments were also on the rise. We found a clear need to build community in Fargo, and responded by producing this book.<\/p>\n

Leah Juelke, the EL teacher whose students are in the book, subsequently won the North Dakota Teacher of the Year award. Through this honor, she has spent the past year traveling the United States and advocating for Green Card Voices, bringing this book to the White House and their many high level venues. Green Card Youth Voices: Stories from a Fargo High School has also been praised by North Dakota Senator Heidi Heitkamp, among many other leaders, teachers, and students.<\/p>\n

Lutheran Social Services, North Dakota\u2019s primary resettlement agency, bought 200 copies and now organize book readings throughout the state, through the belief that in tandem with resettling and helping refugees, they should also help the \u201creceiving communities\u201d better understand their new neighbors.<\/p>\n
