Two Heritage Teachers Win Prestigious Honors

Ms. Alison Lampp, eighth grade science teacher, was accepted into the Teacher-to-Ranger-to-Teacher Program through the U.S. National Park Service for this summer. The program was developed to benefit teachers, schools, and the National Park Service. As a Ranger, Alison will participate in experiences and duties assigned by the park such as helping with summer camps, giving interpretive talks, studying with biologists, as well as looking at and evaluating educational programs that the park has in place. When Ms. Lampp returns to school in the fall she will share these experiences with her students and other staff members. Also, during National Park Week Ms. Lampp will present to Heritage as well as other schools what she has learned about the park system. Ms. Lampp will be stationed at the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. In addition, she will be able to add one more uniform to her collection! Please be sure you congratulate Ms. Lampp on her honor.

Mrs. Deborah Cattell, eighth grade social studies teacher, was accepted to "We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution" Ohio-Indiana-Kentucky Summer Institute held at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana and sponsored by the Ohio Center for Law-Related Education. Debby is one of only 14 teachers from Ohio accepted into this prestigious week long institute. As a member of this institute, Mrs. Cattell will receive a free classroom set of We the People textbooks, will be able to attend a one-day workshop on We the People this fall, as well as implement a simulated congressional hearing in her classroom. Along with the simulated congressional hearing Heritage students will have an opportunity to compete at the state level based on what they learned. Please congratulate Debby on her acceptance into the "We the People" institute.
