Some Good News

HEC won the Teaching American History grant that I did some work on. This isn't the crazy Early Childhood one that had me nuts a couple of months ago, but I did a fair amount of editting on it, and it's pretty awesome - 1 million dollars in federal money for the Bronx. :)

Edit: This is our fourth TAH grant, and we love winning them because they represent such a subversion of the intended purpose of these funds. The Teaching American History money is meant as a sort of conservative response thing, the money is meant to emphasize teaching AMERICAN history, that sort of thing, but we love winning them cause instead of using it in a conservative fashion, we use it to teach a really hands on history bit, getting kids access to museums and lots of cool stuff. :) So yeah. Here's to subversion! ;)
