Dr. Tom & Betty Lawrence American History Teacher Award
Chairman: George H. Stewart
Each year, the Sons of the American Revolution seek to recognize educators who distinguish themselves in teaching the history of the American Revolution. This award is eligible for Elementary, Middle and High School teachers. There is an application process, and the most important part is a written essay of a minimum of 1,000 words discussing the importance of teaching the American Revolution era to our young adults. The deadline for submission of the documents is December 24th of each year. Sounds like a wonderful gift to me. Please encourage any educator you know who carries the knowledge of this critical era of our country, and is passionate about sharing that knowledge with our youth.
Information on the award, the requirements and key contacts are outlined below:
