TEACHING HISTORY
THROUGH STORIES
40 Classrooms.
Hundreds of Students.
A Story Worth Knowing.
Thanks to our generous supporters, forty classrooms across the country will receive Patriotic Book Bundles filled with stories about America’s history, heroes, founding principles, and the people who helped shape our nation. That means hundreds of students will have something powerful in their hands: a book that helps them understand where we came from, the ideas that shaped our country, and the people who came before them. For many students, history can feel like a list of dates and names. The right books make it something more —a story they can enter, question, remember, and connect to. Stories build knowledge. Stories build perspective. And stories help students understand the country they are growing up in. We believe every classroom should have access to great books that invite students to read deeply, think critically, and discover the people and ideas that have shaped America. Forty classrooms will have more of those books this year.
And we're not finished yet, because America's story deserves a place on every classroom bookshelf!
Patriotic Book Bundles
Each bundle is carefully curated to ensure students encounter stories
that inspire gratitude, courage, and a deeper understanding of liberty.
A gift of $125 provides one complete book bundle to a classroom.
Every contribution, no matter the amount, directly restores stories to shelves, and meaning to history lessons.
TEACHING HISTORY THROUGH
stories
History — from the Latin historia: narrative
of past events, account, tale, story.
America has a unique and fascinating history.
And one of the most powerful ways to teach that history to the next generation is through stories.
Stories—both fiction and nonfiction—bring the past to life.
They recount the harrowing journeys of early settlers, the bold leadership that brought order to chaos, and the courageous voices who stood against tyranny and spoke unapologetically for liberty.
These stories do more than convey facts.
They stir curiosity.
They deepen understanding.
They invite students into a story far bigger than themselves.
"Children should be educated and instructed in the principles of freedom."
- John Adams, Founding Father
