Time To Share Conference Video!

Sending Thanks to Fredericksburg, Texas for Their Hospitality!

Each year we post a short video slide show to highlight the CSAA Annual Conference, held this year from June 19-22 in the beautiful hill country of Fredericksburg, Texas. 80 participants from across the U.S. enjoyed two days of presentations and a third day touring area schoolhouses.

The Pioneer Museum in Fredericksburg hosted the conference coordinated by Jane Woellhof and her cadre of wonderful volunteers! We were also fortunate to enjoy an exhibit of antique schoolgirl samplers at the museum, a demonstration of side-saddle horsemanship by Ladies Riding Astride, the Nimitz WWII Museum, a tour of Fredericksburg, and the proud history of the LBJ era. What a beautiful city!

Here we share those highlights and encourage you to attend the 2017 annual conference to be held in New London, NH, from June 11-14th, 2017. Information will be posted on the CSAA website and this newsletter on the NH conference.

Fifth grade teacher P.J. Hartenaus enjoys bringing history to life with tales that her students can relate to in the present. While exploring the unglaciated area of Galena, Illinois, Hartenaus came upon a deserted one-room schoolhouse called Belden. That discovery led her to find journals from the 1800s, artifacts, and 166 tales of a time long ago as told by the elderly students who once attended Belden School. Today, the story lives through Peter McDugal, the young hero of the Belden Boy Series.
