Apply for Ancestry K-12 Education Grant

I recently applied for an educational grant from Ancestry and wanted to share this opportunity with anyone who would also benefit from this opportunity.

Ancestry is currently offering a year of access to it's research to United States K-12 teachers in public and private schools.

I recently applied and have been accepted but my access does not begin until July 1.  I plan to update how we are using this tool in researching family history in the fall of 2015.

Corps of Discovery - Dress As Your Favorite Member of the Corps Day

Hello. Each year I come to school on one day dressed as a member of the Corps of Discovery. About 7 years ago I received a grant to purchase an outfit based on the records of what a member of the Corps of Discovery wore on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. In the past I have dyed my hair red and tried to become William Clark. Today I just came as a "common" member of the Corps.
