Jeremy Kalminski, 12, shows his mother Becky the research reports he and his classmates completed for Ellis Island Premier Night on Thursday at Ardis Middle School in Bentonville. More than 300 of the school’s sixth-graders spent the past three weeks researching Ellis Island as part of their “Embracing Heritage” literacy unit. Visitors to the event were given a guided tour by the students through the 10 stations immigrants experienced when they passed through Ellis Island from 1892 to 1954. ELLIS ISLAND PREMIER NIGHT
