  • 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.

Reske The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2018 Under the Supervision of Professor Joseph Rodriguez The purpose of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America (GSUSA) is to teach girls to be giving, self-sufficient, and independent in their homes and communities through volunteer work and earning merit badges. Open to all girls since its inception, the GSUSA offers Girl Scouts training in both gender-conforming and nontraditional vocations. However, during the first half of the twentieth century, segregation and domesticity was emphasized in American society.

  • Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low “The Work of Today Is the History of Tomorrow, and We Are Its Makers.” 1860-1927 Early Life
    Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low “The work of today is the history of tomorrow, and we are its makers.” 1860-1927 Early Life ● Juliette “Daisy” Gordon was born in Savannah, Georgia during the Civil War, and went to the Virginia Female Institute at age 13. ○ Her schooling included arts and etiquette, and she also had a love for animals. However, Daisy tended to have interests that were considered “Tomboy” interests at the time, such as running and climbing, and did not enjoy lessons on becoming a lady. ○ Daisy later went onto another boarding school in Virginia, eventually concluding her education at a finishing school in New York. She then returned to Georgia as a young woman ready to enter Savannah society. Exploring the World ● After finishing her education, Daisy embarked on a trip to Europe. While traveling, Daisy continued to mingle with the elite who populated her life up to this point and met William Mackay Low. Low was a rich shipping magnate’s son, and was also from Savannah. ○ Just before Daisy married William she suffered a painful ear infection that led to hearing loss in most of her left ear. It was exacerbated by a grain of rice that lodged into her right ear during the traditional rice throwing at the end of a wedding ceremony. Sadly, this random incident led to full hearing loss in the ear as well, leaving her almost completely Deaf for the remainder of her life. A Dark Side ● Even as Daisy continued to live the high-class lifestyle in England, Scotland and Savannah, her life had a dark side that others may not have noticed.

  • Maiden Maidens: Female Pioneers Commemorated on American Postage Stamps
    MAIDEN MAIDENS: FEMALE PIONEERS COMMEMORATED ON AMERICAN POSTAGE STAMPS ANNE FRYE DR. SUROJIT GUPTA ID 499, HONORS THESIS MAY 5, 1989 - ~C.blf ,hestS L-D ;),4,(/{ .7_1f­ ICfBq - .F~united states postage stamps are significant beyond the fact that they provide the means for carrying mail throughout the world. These postage stamps tell the story of the American experience from Columbus' discovery of the new world to the two hundredth anniversary of the American constitution. The first official united states postage stamps, which featured George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, were issued on July 1, 1847. 1 It was not until 1893 that a woman appeared on aU. s. postage stamp. Queen Isabella of Spain, who financially supported Christopher Columbus' search for a new shipping route to India, was depicted on several stamps of the Columbian Expedition Issue. She was featured prominently on one such stamp which contained portraits of both Columbus and herself. 2 From 1847 to 1988 over 2400 U.S. postage stamps have been issued. 3 Only ninety of these stamps have commemorated women and/or female-related subj ects. Actually only seventy-four of these stamps feature different women or women-related subjects because the other sixteen stamps are reprints or slight variations of original stamps. An examination of u.s. postage stamps with female subjects reveals that several of these women were pioneers in one way or another. Other female subjects of postage stamps include presidents' wives, such as Martha Washington; heroines, such as Sybil Ludington; organization founders, such as JUliette Gordon Low of the Girl Scouts; women's rights workers, such as Susan B.

  • Flat Juliette Project
    The Flat Juliette Project The Flat Juliette Project is a pen pal-type activity that promotes international literacy and friendship. It is based on the Flat Stanley/Stacie projects, started by a school teacher. GSOFCT’s Flat Juliette project began in 2012 as a part of the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouts. GSOFCT’s Flat Juliette made her debut and travelled across Connecticut, the United States, and the globe as she celebrated our centennial organizational birthday! Any girl or adult member or troop who wish to start their own Flat Juliette, may print the attached information and participate in this ongoing project to celebrate our founder, Juliette Gordon Low and all that she did to help girls learn, grow, and develop into active citizens in their local communities and beyond. The packet includes: o A pattern and instructions to make Flat Juliette. o A uniform and a contemporary outfit for Flat Juliette. Girls may color and cut out these outfits. o Suggestions and hints on how to design additional outfits (what should Juliette wear on your field trip?) o Tips on photographing Flat Juliette in different locations. Are you ready to make people smile? Send out a Flat Juliette! Why not plan on her returning to you for the celebration of her birthday on October 31st? Imagine what a map of her travels or her personal travel journal would show! Flat Juliette participation patches are available at the council shops. Notes for Flat Juliette Activity: 1) Cut her out of cardstock or poster board. You can even laminate her to keep her neat and make a stand to help photograph her.
