Students at Park Elementary school Friday voted for their favorite among 11 menu proposals as offered by Eric Dowson’s sixth grade class. For the past three weeks, the class has been studying the progressive era of the late 1890s to the early 1920s in American History. The period was marked by an increase in social activism, with sweeping changes brought forth such as the women suffrage movement and prohibition to name a few.“We learned about how the people made things change,” said student Sammii Bisterfelt.
