Since 2005, Stivers School for the Arts history teacher Bridget Federspiel has involved students in the Library of Congress’ Veterans History Project. Planning to add a video component, she stumbled onto yet another addition to the project.
This spring students will learn about the Medal of Honor and meet a MOH recipient she’s bringing to the school.
