"Why am I glad America is a nation of immigrants?"  This was the question answered by 300 fifth graders in San Diego County.  The attorneys from the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) offer this creative writing contest to encourage writing and promote awareness of diverse cultures and how they impact America.  This year, four students from Dingeman made the top 13 entries: Kyra Buley, James Foerster, Grace Li and Shreya Goel.  Shreya won second place overall and received a $75 Amazon gift card and Kindle.  Congratulations to all our students who entered their writing in this competition!
