Ms. Kaplanson visited the classrooms, bringing primary documents such as photographs, handcrafted items, and artifacts, which the students were allowed to look at and to handle. Rogers spent a total of ten days in the classrooms, teaching the students about the primary sources used by historians to interpret the past. Each class then chose a topic of historice relevance to Lebanon to interpret through song. Programs such as this can only be accomplished with community supprot. We thank all the parent for encouraging their students in the pursuit of history, whether at the town hall, in a newspaper, or at a museum.
Financial support is also necessary.
LES received a grant from the Quinebaug-Shetucket Heritage Corridor for the residency and Ms. Rogers songwriting. Additional support was received from the LES-PTA, for which we are very grateful. And of course, by purchasing this CD, you have likewise 0iven youi support for which we thank you. Proceeds from the sale of this recording will go back into the LES student activity fund and will be used for future such projects.
