Over the years, my friend Linda and I have nostalgically recalled a series of books we both read in elementary school. They were biographies aimed at kids, but that’s all we could remember. We both wondered why we never saw them in used bookstores, or libraries, or met other people who fondly recalled them?

Virtual Assembly Program for Grades K-8
One of the greatest lessons we can teach our children is the importance of helping others in need. Towards this end, we are proud to introduce Clara Barton as our humanitarian role model.

She raised warehouses full of food, medicine and clothing during the Civil War and then courageously went to the front to nurse the wounded and dying men. Finally, she started the American Red Cross, which is her legacy today.
As children learn from Clara's example, they will be challenged to think about what they can do to help others in need and make our world just a little better place.
