As part of our Whole School Read on immigration... Mr. Syed Rahman of Modern Wall Art in Skokie came to Devonshire today to share his immigration experience with our kindergarten and fourth grade students. He was born in India, raised in Saudi Arabia, and came to the Chicago area when he was a senior in high school. His family came together, not knowing anyone, but chose Chicago, the Devon Avenue area in particular, because of its diversity. He went to college where he studied science and healthcare, but his artistic side was what drove him to start a business. He now has multiple successful operations and attributes his success to hard work. He let our students know how important education is and how lucky we are to have such good schools. Our students had many questions and made many connections with Mr. Rahman. We thank him for coming to speak with us!
