The staff at the Mount Airy Museum of Regional History have been hard at work preparing for classes to start back in Surry County.
Last week, Programs and Education Director, Cassandra Johnson, went on a county wide trip to over 20 schools in a single day to personally invite educators back into the museum.
“We already have six schools signed up for a field trip this year, and I’ve already started getting the traveling trailer out to teach with. I have high hopes that more children from all over the county will be able learn about their history this year with us,” she said.
The museum takes pride in offering field trips, new and updated exhibits, free history talks, the traveling history trailer, a new traveling exhibit, more STEAM focused education opportunities, and much more this year. They are also excited that the award-winning Tar Heel Jr. Historians Club is starting back.
The Jr. Historians first meeting will be held at the museum on Thursday, September 8, at 3:30 p.m. and students in grades 4th — 12th are encouraged to join. The club meets weekly on Thursday, and kids get to learn more about local history while having “lots of fun.”
While spreading the word to schools, they also got to stop at Surry Central Middle School to personally congratulate Alisha Griffin for winning our Treat-A-Teacher grand prize. “Thank you to all of our local educators who visited us over the summer, and we’re looking forward to seeing teachers as they visit us with their students this year,”
For those with questions about scheduling a field trip, tour, or any of of the museum’s other opportunities, please contact The Mount Airy Museum of Regional History at mamrh@northcarolinamuseum.org or call 336-786-4478.
