February Meeting: Mountain Schools Program

Mountain Schools Virtual Tour

Alexander McNair members and seniors learned about the Mountain Schools through a Google Slideshow. The 5 mountain schools are sponsored by the DAR and are: Berry College, Crossnore School, Hillside School, Hindman Settlement School, and Kate Duncan Smith DAR School. 

Members were able to learn about some of the special programs at the schools and a fun fact about each school. (Ex. Berry College has an eagle cam!) They were then able to compare and contrast the schools, using a Venn Diagram and dry erase boards. Notes on memorable facts were added to the Slides.

Finally, the members voted that each member in attendance could send $10 to the school of their choice. The society sent $30 to Berry College, $10 to Crossnore School,  $10 to Hillside School, and $10 to Kate Duncan Smith DAR School.
