Bring a Piece of History to Your School
with a Hope Trunk
August 19, 2009
Can’t come on a field trip to the Museum or want to engage your students in some pre-visit activities before your Museum visit? Then request a Hope Trunk, shipped directly to your school free of charge. The Hope Trunk: An Offering of Positive Education is a program using the story of the bombing to educate students about the senselessness of violence and the need to find more peaceful means to resolve our differences. The trunk, which a school may use for two weeks, contains artifacts, visual materials, and classroom exercises that may be used as a stand alone unit or incorporated into regular math, geography and reading/literature lessons. More than 10,000 students and educators in 11 states experienced the Hope Trunk last year.
Shipping is provided courtesy of FedEx.
Benefits of using a Hope Trunk
- “I used the Hope Trunk artifacts and the video, Tapestry, to prepare my students for the Memorial visit. They understood the importance of remembering and how violence can impact so many lives.”
Educator from Belle Isle Enterprise Middle School, Oklahoma City, OK
