Ellis Island Day was phenomenal! The immigrants looked amazing in their outfits. Their luggage was packed full of memories from their homelands and things that would keep them busy on their long voyage across land and sea. Immigrants were prepared, but nervous, to visit each station and receive their stamps indicating they were one step closer to receiving their landing card to America. Thank you to all the families for your help preparing your immigrants for this fantastic day! The children were so excited to be able to share the feast for two days because of your generosity! Thank you for all of your support!
