'Empowering': Students become teachers of Anne Frank exhibit at Billings West
BILLINGS - Fifteen students at Billings West High School are taking on the role of educators, as they guide their peers through a traveling Anne Frank exhibit, which is currently in the school cafeteria.
The exhibit will be in Billings until Feb. 20, when history teacher Rob Stanton will deliver it to Bozeman. For now, those 15 volunteer docents are leading tours and sharing Anne Frank's story with multiple classes each day.
"It's really empowering to be able to tell her stories," said Boston MacDonald, who's one of the docents. "Just hearing how mature she was as a 14-year-old and hearing her stories and the things she wrote is very inspirational."
