DO YOUR CHILDREN UNDERSTAND THEIR ROOTS OF FREEDOM?
Imagine this program in your school! The Roots of Freedom program includes a beautiful Freedom Gallery, excellent classroom curriculum, exciting Freedom Bowls, patriotic assemblies, and other electrifying tools that will increase patriotism in every school!
AMERICA'S FREEDOM GALLERY
The centerpiece of the Roots of Freedom education program is the Freedom Gallery. This stunning 24-piece display presents the story of America’s founding in a visually stimulating manner. The Freedom Gallery was created to be a beautiful addition to any public or corporate building. Some schools refer to their gallery as the “learning wall” because of the many life lessons which are taught. Watch a video of our Freedom Gallery here. Watch a music video of the freedom gallery here.

Detailed Gallery Installation:
Many think the gallery is too hard to put up or that they need to wait for the district office personnel to do it for them. Actually, you can do it yourself! At many schools putting the Freedom Gallery up becomes a community event. This guide is meant to offer inspiration and tips. Installation Guide Although your location needs will be different, much of the same ideas will apply.
If you would like a life-size template of the Freedom Gallery, call or email us and we will send you one to borrow. Please send it back as soon as you are done with it so other schools can use it. Thanks!

Bring a modern-day Statue of Liberty to your school
|
|
 Raising money for your Roots of Freedom program can become a fun, educational experience in its own rite. The principles of liberty can be taught through your fundraising, which can be patterned after the Statue of Liberty event of 123 years ago.
Did you know the United States almost did not receive the Statue of Liberty that France wanted to give us? Not until Joseph Pulitzer appealed to the common people of America was there enough money raised to build the platform for the Statue of Liberty. What caused Americans’ attitude to change from apathy to excitement? You can read the full story here.
Watch the music video of the Statue of Liberty here.
Having the Roots of Freedom program in your school will create a lasting legacy that will bring pride and patriotism to your child’s education.
