Michigan Teachers Selected for National History Day WWI Program To commemorate the centennial of The Great War, National History Day (NHD), in affiliation with the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission, will be spearheading a new educational program titled Legacies of World War I. Three teachers from Michigan, Ashley Stack of Galesburg, Marci Wiesemes of St. Joseph, and Traci Welch of Houghton, were selected by NHD to participate in the program. The Michigan educators and other professionals around the world will receive access to webinars and discussions about World War I. The goal of Legacies of World War I is to ensure that the details of the Great War are remembered and to provide educators with information that can be implemented in the classroom. Homemade Pumpkin Pie Filling It’s officially the season for pumpkin pie! Try this recipe from the 1887 edition of The Original White House Cook Book for homemade pumpkin pie filling: “For three pies: One quart of milk, three cupfuls of boiled and strained pumpkin, one and one-half cupfuls of sugar, one-half cupful of molasses, the yolks and whites of four eggs beaten separately, a little salt, one tablespoonful each of ginger and cinnamon. Beat all together and bake with an under crust. Boston marrow or Hubbard squash may be substituted for pumpkin, and are much preferred by many, as possessing a less strong flavor.” Registration Open for History Skills Boot Camp Saturday, November 3, 2018 Lansing Community College West Campus Attend a full day of workshops to hone your skills in the areas of historic preservation, managing a site, reenactors and living history, and more!
