All 3 Clark County Schools were granted $300 each and a packet of Clark County Facts to promote the great history of our hometowns. The hope is that every student in Clark County will get to participate in a lesson all about Clark County. For example, Martinsville 4th and 5th grade students will be participating in a variety of ways including: early spring field trip to Springfield, IL; Clark County Historical Fair (students will use this research to develop a power-point, speech, essay, and/or wax figure that they will impersonate), and travel to Clark County Museum/Marshall Library Tour of Smithsonian Exhibit.
