Dan Scudder will be our guest.
Dan is the founder of Presidents for Kids. Dan published an activity book on Lafayette (the AFL helped !!). It's a tremendous publication.
Dan will discuss how to make history more palatable for our younger citizens. If you are a parent or grandparent (or just an interested person), this presentation should not be missed. From Dan's website...
Presidents for Kids started with Dan Scudder, a history-loving dad who noticed something important: his kids didn’t connect with dusty textbooks or long lectures—but they loved wild stories, silly facts, and anything that felt like a discovery. So he created Presidents for Kids, an activity book series packed with bite-sized bios, goofy illustrations, activities, and trivia that make America’s leaders feel more like real people and less like statue-worthy strangers.
