BigBear, post #22 above, is Tim Baird, the school teacher. A big hello goes out to you, Tim. Welcome to the forum.

Any questions for him?

Working on the pictures. I should have some to put up tomorrow. I think other instructors also have some to post.

Excellent work !
Was this event done with the auspices of the school principle and school board ?

I'm thinking the teacher (Mr Tim Baird)  who liasoned with our AS crew would make a great candidate for an elected office .

Thank you, but I have NO desire for an elected office.... I love my current job.

We are trying to put together something similar for my daughter's school in Charlotte.  Kim and Tim Baird have been very helpful in providing background.

It would be great to include some photos in the presentation for the administration and Board of Trustees.  Could someone post some additional photos?

Thanks.

Btw,

Pre-lim word is this activity is a go for next year.  Only this time including the high school as well.  Bigger and better.

I'll be in touch.

Thank you.

Another fine article done by our very own ColoradoBoots. This is a newspaper that is distributed through Colorado.  Nice job, Elizabeth!

That's just awesome I hope this gets other schools to talk to Appleseed as well  ^:)^

This event, and the exquisite AAR to put it into words, is about as close to "bottling" Project Appleseed as one can get--Simply stunning in the execution of this work to save Liberty.

Thanks, Flipper and goose. The AAR was written in detail as a source to send school administrators to that may have an interest in doing an event like this. It shows what the program can be. Copy it or change it to fit you. Hitting history hard with stories and reinforcing activities was a success.

The teachers, Tim and Jeff, are very willing to talk to anyone about this. Just PM us for their phone numbers.
