A note from Joan Schaeffer, President of Historical Perspectives for Children:

We are very proud to be celebrating our 19th season presenting the timeless stories of outstanding role models in history to complement your school's curriculum.

Our programs give your students the opportunity to interact with the extraordinary men and women who helped lay the foundation for the many freedoms and opportunities we are privileged to enjoy today.

Helping children understand this connection of the past with the present is critical in preparing them to meet the challenges of their future. Yes, they can read about these trailblazers, and we do strongly encourage students to go to their libraries to learn more. But if they also intimately experience their stories, they will gain a far more personal insight .

They will also never forget.

Joan Schaeffer
