Celebrate Armed Forces Day with SOITA on Friday, May 15th as we honor the accomplishments of our greatest Commander in Chief, Abraham Lincoln. Honest Abe is 200 years old this year and is regarded by most historians as our greatest president and leader of the U.S. Armed Forces. Former history teacher Dave Gibson joins with Lincoln impersonator James Crabtree to provide an excellent program that will focus on Lincoln's role in the Union victory that led to the survival of the United States of America in the face of civil war. This will be a great opportunity for 8th grade students to review important concepts of the Civil War they learned about this school year. In addition, 7th graders will find this program an effective way to become acquainted with the subject matter they will be studying next year. Time will be allocated for student questions of our presenters.Please note: there is a limit on the number of sites per session. Registrations are on a first-come basis.
