Mt View Elementary teacher appreciates Historical League

"Arizona Recollections and Reflections is a great resource for each classroom to have," writes 4th grade teacher Karen O'Keefe of Mountain View Elementary. "Teachers can turn to it when the students' textbooks refer to Arizona, and students can use it for their research papers. Thank you VERY, VERY MUCH!"

One of the goals of the Centennial Legacy Project was to create a book featuring our Historymakers. The book, Arizona Recollections and Reflections, is now being donated to schools and libraries across Arizona. To date we have donated over 1600 copies.



Receiving such a nice Thank You note is always appreciated.
