What a mighty fine picture of a talented group of innovators! Georgia Humanities is proud to be a part of this amazing collaboration. The award is very well-deserved. The only question I have is what took them so long?

To our council partners,

 

We are delighted to share the attached photo with you of the moment last Thursday when the MoMS team received the Smithsonian Education Innovation Award from Secretary Skorton. 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
