last minute program on Slavery, Morrow

Sorry for the short notice, but this is a valuable program

see the note below: 


Slavery and Freedom in Black and White: The African American Experience in 19th Century Newspapers July 8, 2011 


This is not an official release from the National Archives at Morrow, but rather a personal invitation from Rose.
Those of you who attended Homeschool History Day at the Archives in Morrow may have met a wonderful woman, Christine Mitchell. She has a collection of historical newspapers, some from the late 1700's I believe, and has developed, along with Joel, an interesting exhibit that will be displayed at the Archives until October, if plans go forward.
Speakers from Clayton State University: Dr. Adam Tate,The Atlanta Voice: Janis Ware, National Archives: Joel Walker, and of course, Christine Mitchell. The Clayton State Gospel Choir will begin and end the program It begins at 7:00 and should end by 8:00. 
If you have made no plans and are in the Morrow area, I'd love to see you. Rose


If you can't make it, be sure to put the National Archives on your to-do-list.  you won't regret it.

Spring Classes at Gwinnett History Museum

The Gwinnett History Museum's spring homeschool classes will start next Tuesday, January 11, with our class for ages 6-10 entitled 19th Century lessons. That class will start by discussing life and events in 1855 (the year our building opened as a school) and then will role-play lessons in a one-room schoolhouse. This month's class for ages 11-up is scheduled for Tuesday, January 25. It is called "What is History?" and will include information on primary documents and historical research, including guidelines for writing a research paper. Classes are scheduled from 10:00am to noon and cost $5 each for Gwinnett County residents; however, students enrolling for four classes at once (January-April) get a discounted rate of $12 for all four, and will be eligible for a discount when registration opens for our May class also. The rest of our spring topics are as follows:

Ages 6-10
2/1 – Who was Abraham Lincoln;
3/1 – Sugar and Spice, But Not Always Nice;
4/12 – Plant It, Watch it Grow.

Ages 11-up
2/15 – The Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln;
3/15 – Women's History, Not for Girls Only;
4/26 – Gwinnett Through the Years

Classes include age-appropriate instruction, crafts, and games.

Please note that we have a new policy for ages 6-10; if a parent is unable to remain in class with their child, they will need to review and sign our behavioral contract. Parents are welcome to attend the class for ages 11-up, but are not required to do so.

You can register for any of these classes online at www.gwinnettparks.com; however, to receive the four-class discount, please call 770-822-5178 between the hours of 10am and 4pm Monday through Thursday.

GLADIATORS READING PROGRAM - 2010 SCHOOL YEAR

Letter from Gwinnet Gladiators:

LOCAL HOME SCHOOL GROUPS


I trust you are having a great Summer. If you are tired of this current heat wave … remind yourself that sometime in late September or early October a sheet of ice 200” long and 85’ wide will be put down at the Arena. Hopefully, that thought will help cool you off. We open the 2010-2011 home Schedule on Friday, October 22nd at 7:35 vs. South Carolina.

I looked at the calendar this morning and realized that my kids will be back in School (1) month from tomorrow … it’s once again time to start planning “Hat Trick for Reading.”

If you are getting this, it’s because you were my 2009 Home School contact for our “Hat Trick for Reading” program. I hope you’ll be able to sign your Students up again for 2010.

Attached are the 2010 Program Outline and Home School Agreement form. As soon as you know about your Group’s participation, kindly return the Agreement info to me and I’ll make sure the program materials will be sent to you in a timely manner. The award night your kids will be reading for is Saturday, November 6th – a 7:05 pm face-off vs. Greenville. (email e-mail at jhall@gwinnettgladiators.com for attachment)


Please feel free to share this with any and all of your Home School contacts. If you are no longer the contact for your Group and would like to be removed from this distribution list, please call and let me know.

Thanks … I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards,
Jim9
