Appleseed in School 2017

[BigBear]

Alcon,
That time of year again to start prepping for the annual event at my school. More details to follow, but here's the basics:

May 1-4, 2017. Range day is Wed, May 3.
- Teachers drop the curriculum and have 3 days to teach ANYTHING
- I choose firearms and the history of the American Revolution
- we invite Appleseed to come out and we discover the true story of the American Revolution and our heritage
- we learn about the Three Strikes leading up to the War, and about the personal stories of the "heroes" and "enemies" of the Rev. War
- we learn gun safety and basic marksmanship skills
- we end the week with a day at the range with 30-50ish kids live firing .22lrs
- usually get to break out some toys at the end of that session and let the kids have some fun (M1's, M4's, .50's, Tannerite, etc)
- some activities include symbology and kids making their own flags, learning about smelting and making their own cartridges, etc. Lots of good times.

I kindly ask for volunteers and donations. Several members here have been WONDERFUL helps in the past both backstage and foreground. Much respect.

Stay tuned for more info!!!

** Update: The ammo goal is ALREADY reached! Thank you soo much to 9fmmj for the donation! With the leftovers from last year, we have reached this goal in record time!

** Update: We still need some financial help. Thanks to those few who've already donated! You are sooo appreciated! Y'all need to come out and see what we do!

** If you are volunteering and have a .22lr or four, we could use them if you'd like to bring them. PLEASE

*** The range we used last year is a no-go (was shutdown late last year). We will be at a new one this year, if you are volunteering, please PM me and I'll share the info as to where we will be. Thank you. BTW, New range = new rule: They do NOT allow Tannerite on their range... so I'll leave it home. Now cannons on the other hand... __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ____________

As usual, I will donate some cash & .22 lr. ammo, this always seems to happen when I am on-call and cannot take off work.
