For everyone who gave suggestions for my school cemetery project, here's the update! Our first major field trip was Monday. The kids really loved it, mostly because of the research they did prior. It was neat to hear them find stones for the family they researched and get so excited! They then got to go through the whole restoration process on a couple of the family stones. Letting them see their progress from start to finish really made a difference. They were so proud of their work! We're planning another trip for a new batch of kids at the start of November, plus another around April. The community has really gotten into this and wants to keep it going. You can read the article the small town newspaper published. PLEASE--take it with a grain of salt....the reporter really took things I said liberally. I just kept shaking my head as I read it. Not quite an accurate picture...but the community won't know the difference. I'm just glad we're getting some publicity! http://www.flyergroup.com/story.asp?id=3394 _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Fantastic job Jessica. I've seen your work, and it is quite good. It is great that you were able to share the proper restoration techniques with the next generation. Hey, any of you other guys out there, how about getting some of your own schools interested in a project like this. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jessica Felix" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2004 4:27 PM Subject: [INPCRP] School Cemetery Project > For everyone who gave suggestions for my school > cemetery project, here's the update! > Our first major field trip was Monday.
