Dear Educator,
We are excited to present this School Year Planner with all of the information you need to reserve fall, winter and spring school programs, as well as our Traveling Trunks and teacher workshops. We invite the participation of your entire district. . . please copy, pass along and post the enclosed information for your colleagues in all district buildings!
FALL 2009 RESERVATIONS for ranger programs are being processed as they are received. Fall programs build context and enrich your later Civil War unit. Consider a Fall program!
WINTER DAYS AT THE MUSEUM, for younger (K-4) students, can be reserved now too, and include a themed tour of the exhibits gallery along with hands-on history opportunities.
SPRING 2010 RESERVATIONS for ranger programs will be processed on September 29 and 30.
TEACHER WORKSHOPS are offered quarterly. . . providing full days of undivided attention for you to preview and plan all of your field trip activities and related units. (Don’t miss the reprise of Civil War Soldier Camp for Teachers next summer!)
And finally . . . TRAVELING TRUNKS on the life of the Civil War Soldier can be reserved throughout the school year. Please see the enclosures for more information to reserve a trunk.
Reservation Requests should be sent to:
