The Moultrie County History Center had the pleasure of meeting 35 of your 7th grade students on Thursday, April 30th, when they arrived to tour the Moultrie County History Museum and Research Library. Kudos to Mrs. Pope, Mr. Christensen and Mrs. Yantis for having the students ready to listen, engage and learn.
It was a two-hour "teaching tour", therefore, museum docents shared in great detail the stories depicted in 8 of the museum's major exhibits, featuring the history of the place your students call home...Moultrie County. In addition, our museum librarian introduced a bit of Museology to the students, explaining the What? How? and Why? of our museum. Another volunteer enlightened them on the vast information awaiting them in the museum's library, sharing photos from Bethany's past, files that contained photos and articles of several of the students' relatives and a map that depicted where Native Americans of the past made their homes in the Bethany and Findlay area. In the attached photos, you will see the students visiting a few of the major exhibits that were covered during their visit.
Due to time constraints, they were not able to spend additional time browsing through the remaining exhibits that weren't included in the teaching tour. We hope that they will be able to return in the near future to enjoy those exhibits, too.
The young people who joined us were excellent representatives of Okaw Valley Middle School! We appreciated being a part of Mrs. Pope's teaching day,
It's a full slate for OV student-athletes today! OVMS Track hosts the middle school conference track meet at 4:00 today. #YNotOV

Today, the OVMS 7th grade class traveled to the Coles County Historical Society, grabbed lunch at the famous The Original Burger King, visited the Moultrie County Historical Society, and toured the statues at Moultrie County Courthouse.
Lots of learning, lots of laughs, and a great day making real-world, local connections!
