We are kicking off a program to take suitecases full of curriculum-based artifacts to elementary, middle and high school classrooms in the Fall. We need volunteers to help with this educational program. Training will be provided at the history center in July or August. The school presentations will consist of showing the artifacts and giving about a 20 minute talk. This will be easy, fun and GREAT for the students!
