Description
Hey, School Success Makers!
Ever heard the saying, "History is the greatest teacher?" Evidently, History is more than just the events in the past.
So tune in now to learn more about this as Peter Findler, CEO of The 9:57 Project and a History teacher at Wakefield School, explains how History can teach and empower young people to lead lives of courage, resilience, service, and teamwork. And how it can be beneficial not only to those in the school community but also to the veterans who are part of the project.
