Students can participate in our Windows to the Past program, a virtual meet and greet with history! Students can speak with historic characters that are positioned within an accurate historic setting using the technology of FaceTime. Teachers can choose from a menu of historical figures from the 1770s through the 1940s who will discuss their life. The discussion will be followed by a question and answer session with students. Teachers will receive an advance packet with activities and information about their selected historical figure.
