A Land Remembered Lives At Duette Elementary School

A Land Remembered Inspires Cracker Day at Duette Elementary School

Once a year for the last two years we ran a “Get Caught Read­ing A Land Remem­bered” con­test. We’ve had some great entries. Don­na King, the Teach­ing Prin­ci­pal at Duette Ele­men­tary School in Duette, Flori­da went one step far­ther. She writes, “For many years we have read A Land Remem­bered at Duette School. In addi­tion to learn­ing Flori­da his­to­ry it instills a love and enthu­si­asm for read­ing.” Her stu­dents not only read A Land Remem­bered, they go out and get expe­ri­ence like a pio­neer at their own “Crack­er Day.”  Here are some pho­tos she sent, along with this link to their Crack­er Day 2010. Take some time to check out their pho­tos. They are wonderful.
