Gifted students in a rural school district need nonfiction reference materials to study Appalachian history and culture.
Many children are unaware of the richness of Appalachian culture, and some are ashamed of their rural roots. Old ways are disappearing, and skills once essential for Appalachian life are quickly being forgotten.
Through study of nonfiction materials, with related activities and high-interest fiction studies, children can begin to develop pride in their community and way of life.
You can help foster this pride and inspire children to help preserve this unique culture.
