All Saints’ Hosts Third Annual Naturalization Ceremony
Fifty immigrants became U.S. citizens on April 22 at All Saints' Episcopal Day School.
Fifty people from 31 countries and cultures became U.S. citizens at 9 a.m. on April 22 during a Naturalization Ceremony at All Saints’ Episcopal Day School. All Saints’ students participated throughout the ceremony by singing, sharing essays, signing The Pledge of Allegiance, and presenting artwork and congratulations to the candidates. Judge David K. Duncan, federal magistrate judge for the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, presided over the court proceeding. Akriti Bhujel, an eighth grade student at All Saints’, shared her American Heritage essay with the group. “I believe a true American heritage is one where a person’s story and individual family heritage mixes into the country and becomes a part of America,” shared Bhujel.
