“Thank you so much for coming today to explain the Passport to history
program to us. We also really like learning how to fold a five pointed star just
like Betsy Ross”- Terry, Indian Lane Elementary
“I am writing to tell you that we have been participating in the PPH
program for six years now. I think it is a fantastic program geared to getting
students excited about their local history…Right here in Delaware County we have
some of the earliest sites and buildings in our nation. Your program gets
students interested in learning about and preserving this history for future
generations. It works. Students at our school raised money over a two year
period to save the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia. This would not have
happened if they had not been exposed to history and its importance through PPH.
Because they had visited local sites and participated in hands-on projects
through the program, history became a valuable commodity to them, valuable
enough for them to forgo snack money to save an important national icon. I can’t
think of a more valuable way to spend precious, limited funding than by bringing
history alive for the next generation”- V. C., C. L., Aston Elementary
“I would like to thank you and those of DCHS in affording Matthew the
opportunity to participate in the PPH program, and in sharing his devoted
efforts. PPH has provided him the opportunity to visit, learn and appreciate the
challenges and struggles endured by the early settlers. Each of the sites
provided a valued experience and unique offering of history as it evolved during
those earlier years…We extend our thanks and appreciation to you and those at
DCHS for your dedication in making this program successful”- Lloyd, Home School
Participation
From Kids:
“I liked the Limber Jack because it dances on a board. You play with it by
having a stick in its back, then you move it up and down and the Limber Jack
dances! Colonial kids would love to play with it because they probably haven’t
seen a dancing wooden man”- Ryan
“Dear Ms Karyn- Thank you for coming to our class. We really enjoyed it.
We liked when you came to tell us how to make a five-point star. Many of us
still have our stars up. We also thank you for bringing in the items in the bag.
We also liked how you showed us how to make corn husk dolls. We are thrilled
that you were able to come to our school”- Mrs. Liadom’s class
