One thing you might try is to see if any of the schools in your area have any after-school programs. Mine has several; a few school-sponsored events like a mentor-tutor program where older students mentor younger ones, and we have a few programs sponsored by outside agencies that occur at our school. Often these type of programs have more leeway in scheduling activities than classroom teachers do, since they have so many state standards to meeet with their lesson plans. Often teachers can work genealogy into these standards, but only when it relates to lessons already established. On 6/10/06, John Berryman wrote: > Donald, > > I can't answer your question exactly.
