The goal of this series is to give young people an early appreciation for American History and to assist them in seeking out the history makers in their own families. Our series encourages development of Language Arts skills and is tied to a leadership/character component that instills in students the belief that they can be leaders in their own lives. All programming will be tied to your state’s Academic Content Standards. Each book is written with relatable characters and situations so that youngsters can see our veterans and GIs as real people such as parents, grandparents, neighbors and other familiar individuals.
This series is being made available to schools at no charge, as funding becomes available. Generous gifts from The Dekko Foundation, Miami County Foundation and the Tipp City Community Foundation have allowed us to provide this series to our initial market. Our plan calls for us to provide the series free of cost as funds allow us to do so.
