Sandra Day O'Connor H.S. history teachers receive Centennial book

 Susan Hubbs, Zona Lorig, Suzanne Wooton
History teachers Susan Hubbs and Suzanne Wooton from Sandra Day O'Connor High School were very happy to receive complimentary copies of Arizona Recollections and Reflections: An Arizona Centennial Historymakers Commemoration for their classes. They attended ACHE convention and spoke enthusiastically with Historical League member Zona Lorig about the many ways students can use the book.  Thanks to our generous sponsors for allowing us to proceed with this program and get the human side of Arizona Historymakers into the classroom. Students learn through biographies, family photos and oral histories. Historical League members Ruth McLeod and Carolyn Mendoza worked with Zona to explain to teachers the research, artifacts, oral histories,photos, formal portraits, etc. that comprise the Historymakers Program.

The Historical League plans on having all the Historymakers complete oral histories and long biographies on www.HistoricalLeague.org/historymakers.htm.
