  • American Heritage Day
    American Heritage Day DEAR PARENTS, Each year the elementary school students at Valley Christian Academy prepare a speech depicting the life of a great American man or woman. The speech is written in the first person and should include the character’s birth, death, and major accomplishments. Parents should feel free to help their children write these speeches. A good way to write the speech is to find a child’s biography and follow the story line as you construct the speech. This will make for a more interesting speech rather than a mere recitation of facts from the encyclopedia. Students will be awarded extra points for including spiritual application in their speeches. Please adhere to the following time limits. K-1 Speeches must be 1-3 minutes in length with a minimum of 175 words. 2-3 Speeches must be 2-5 minutes in length with a minimum of 350 words. 4-6 Speeches must be 3-10 minutes in length with a minimum of 525 words. Students will give their speeches in class. They should be sure to have their speeches memorized well enough so they do not need any prompts. Please be aware that students who need frequent prompting will receive a low grade. Also, any student with a speech that doesn’t meet the minimum requirement will receive a “D” or “F.” Students must portray a different character each year. One of the goals of this assignment is to help our children learn about different men and women who have made America great. Help your child choose characters from whom they can learn much.

  • Selected Highlights of Women's History
    Selected Highlights of Women’s History United States & Connecticut 1773 to 2015 The Permanent Commission on the Status of Women omen have made many contributions, large and Wsmall, to the history of our state and our nation. Although their accomplishments are too often left un- recorded, women deserve to take their rightful place in the annals of achievement in politics, science and inven- Our tion, medicine, the armed forces, the arts, athletics, and h philanthropy. 40t While this is by no means a complete history, this book attempts to remedy the obscurity to which too many Year women have been relegated. It presents highlights of Connecticut women’s achievements since 1773, and in- cludes entries from notable moments in women’s history nationally. With this edition, as the PCSW celebrates the 40th anniversary of its founding in 1973, we invite you to explore the many ways women have shaped, and continue to shape, our state. Edited and designed by Christine Palm, Communications Director This project was originally created under the direction of Barbara Potopowitz with assistance from Christa Allard. It was updated on the following dates by PCSW’s interns: January, 2003 by Melissa Griswold, Salem College February, 2004 by Nicole Graf, University of Connecticut February, 2005 by Sarah Hoyle, Trinity College November, 2005 by Elizabeth Silverio, St. Joseph’s College July, 2006 by Allison Bloom, Vassar College August, 2007 by Michelle Hodge, Smith College January, 2013 by Andrea Sanders, University of Connecticut Information contained in this book was culled from many sources, including (but not limited to): The Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame, the U.S.

  • NWCG Standards for Interagency Incident Business Management
    A publication of the National Wildfire Coordinating Group NWCG Standards for Interagency Incident Business Management PMS 902 April 2021 NWCG Standards for Interagency Incident Business Management April 2021 PMS 902 The NWCG Standards for Interagency Incident Business Management, assists participating agencies of the NWCG to constructively work together to provide effective execution of each agency’s incident business management program by establishing procedures for: • Uniform application of regulations on the use of human resources, including classification, payroll, commissary, injury compensation, and travel. • Acquisition of necessary equipment and supplies from appropriate sources in accordance with applicable procurement regulations. • Management and tracking of government property. • Financial coordination with the jurisdictional agency and maintenance of finance, property, procurement, and personnel records, and forms. • Use and coordination of incident business management functions as they relate to sharing of resources among federal, state, and local agencies, including the military. • Documentation and reporting of claims. • Documentation of costs and cost management practices. • Administrative processes for all-hazards incidents. Uniform application of interagency incident business management standards is critical to successful interagency fire operations. These standards must be kept current and made available to incident and agency personnel. Changes to these standards may be proposed by any agency for a variety of reasons: new law or regulation, legal interpretation or opinion, clarification of meaning, etc. If the proposed change is relevant to the other agencies, the proponent agency should first obtain national headquarters’ review and concurrence before forwarding to the NWCG Incident Business Committee (IBC). IBC will prepare draft NWCG amendments for all agencies to review before finalizing and distributing.

  • The Legacy of Marian Anderson
    Date: Thursday, April 4th, 2013, 12:30pm Place: Hillwood Commons Lecture Hall Speaker: Marc Courtade newyorker.com Marian Anderson was one of the most celebrated singers of the twentieth century. She became an important figure in the struggle for black artists to overcome racial prejudice in the United States during the mid-twentieth century. In 1939, the Daughters of the American Revolution refused permission for Anderson to sing to an integrated audience in Constitution Hall. Instead, with the aid of Eleanor Roosevelt, Anderson performed a critically acclaimed open-air concert on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Easter Sunday, April 9, 1939. She sang before a crowd of more than 75,000 people and a radio audience in the millions. In 1955, Anderson broke the color barrier by becoming the first African-American to perform with the Metropolitan Opera. In 1958 she was officially designated delegate to the United Nations, a formalization of her role as "goodwill ambassador" of the U.S., and in 1972 she was awarded the UN Peace Prize. Anderson may have been a reluctant participant in the civil rights movement, but greatness was thrust upon her. A generation of African-American singers is indebted to her for blazing the trail towards equality. About the Speaker... Marc Courtade is Business Manager for Tilles Center for the Performing Arts at Long Island University, and Producer and Artistic Director of Performance Plus!, a pre-performance lecture series. He is a frequent lecturer for the Hutton House Lectures, specializing in Musicals and Opera courses, and Adjunct Professor in the Arts Management curriculum.

COVER PHOTO: The colorful plan on the cover is the 1901-1902 McMillan Commission Plan for the National Mall, which is the basis for the Mall we know today, stretching from the Capitol Building to the Washington Monument westward to the Lincoln Memorial. This Plan developed and extended the original 1791 L’Enfant Plan for Washington, D.C., with the National Mall at its center. In both visionary plans, the Mall’s monuments, public buildings, and open landscape were intended to embody America’s founding principles and provide public space for use by the American people.

  • From the Gilded Age to the Jazz Age: the Formation of Modern American Culture, 1877-1929"
    Syllabus HIS 373H "From the Gilded Age to the Jazz Age: The Formation of Modern American Culture, 1877-1929" University of Toronto at Mississauga, Fall 2002 Mondays, 3 - 5 p.m., NB room 144 Prof. Elspeth Brown Office Hours: office: North Building, rm. 249 office hours: M, 12:00 - 3:00 and by appt. phone: 905-828-3749 email: mailto:[email protected] This course examines the major social, political, and cultural developments of American society from the end of Reconstruction to the stock market crash of 1929. Specific topics to be covered include: the rise of mass culture; the growth of the corporation; labor politics; the rise of Jim Crow; Progressive Era reforms; WWI; woman suffrage; the Harlem Renaissance; and the "roaring" 1920s. We will explore the relationship between society and culture, with a view towards understanding how language and representation both mediate and construct social and political transformations. Along the way, we will see how specific groups of Americans, such as black middle class reformers, the white middle class, African- American workers, Mexican and Lithuanian immigrants, and feminists worked with available social and political tools to transform American society and culture. Course Format: The course is a combination of lecture and discussion. In the first hour, I will lecture on a topic related to the reading. In the second hour, we will have a discussion of the assigned readings, which may sometimes result in me delivering small mini-lectures. On the whole, though, during this second hour I will be asking you for your analysis and interpretation of the material; your intellect and hard work will carry the class.
