Chadron High's history teacher, Mr. Michael Sandstrom, is one of eighteen teachers picked from across the country to travel to Europe and learn more about WWI through the program of Memorializing the Fallen. The trip will be in June of 2019 and will last twelve days.
Mr. Sandstrom achieved this opportunity by answering questions as to why he should go, how he and his future students would benefit from this experience, and what he could provide to the group that he will be traveling with. When the group is given downtime, they will be able to explore their location more in depth.
Throughout this trip, the group will experience lectures, visit battle sites, view cemeteries, and be part of the 100th anniversary of the Treaty of Versailles's signing. The signing will take place at the French Palace. Mr. Sandstrom said he is looking forward to the signing because it is such a significant event.
Before the trip, every teacher researches a soldier who went to war. They are to get as much information as possible. When visiting the cemeteries, each educator will be searching for their researched individual who did not return home from war. Within the trip, the educators will be finishing up their research profiles, which will be released in 2019-2020.
