In our remarks we said that our success in impacting students and communities is only possible through our partnership with state humanities councils. We are deeply grateful for the work you all do on behalf of MoMS in small towns across the country. This award is an affirmation that the work we are doing together is making a difference. And, we can now refer to MoMS as an award-wining project! With warm regards and grateful hearts, The MoMS team at SITES Carol G.
