Congratulations Jessica! What you have done is wonderful and positive. The age of your students is crucial, and to see they are receiving education at this age to respect our cemeteries is so important. Do you have a lesson plan that you follow? I am very curious about this. In Henry Co., the Cemetery Advisory Board was working on a cemetery education program. It has pretty much been put on hold due to legistative issues we were working on among other things. If you wouldn't mind, would you mind telling me more about your cemetery education program? You can respond to me personally if you would like. Thank you so much!!

If you could share the information with all of us it could help those interested in approaching their schools with this idea. How did you present it to your principal? Was the grant money enough to cover everything?
