Below is a lovely email we received from a school in Bar Harbor, Maine. It was such a boost to me that I thought I would share it with you. Consider: You never know how your work impacts and connects with others, and it is nice when you get to see that it does.
Email from Media Specialist Lily Stevens:
My name is Lily Stevens and as a media specialist up here in Bar Harbor, Maine, I just wanted to send the staff at Spectrum School a thank-you note for putting together your collection of virtual tours on your ‘Parent & Family Resources’ web page! (This one – www.spectrumschool.org/familyresources/)
For the winter months, our library is hosting a special ‘Exploring the World from Home’ workshop as part of our Arts & Entertainment series. We did this last year and it was a huge hit! (Winter months in Bar Harbor can be pretty brutal, so it’s always nice to have some programming that can be done from home!) In preparation, I’m compiling a resource guide for the attendees and I have some student volunteers assisting me. Your webpage led us to some fantastic virtual field trips to incorporate, so my students requested I reach out and let you know how much you’ve helped us 🙂
As a thank you, I wanted to share this curated collection of virtual tours that my student Amanda found…
Interactive Historical Virtual Reality Field Trips – https://vr.space/news/education/vr-educational-field-trips/
Amanda was very excited to share it with you! She thought other families would enjoy it, and that it would make a great addition! Will you let me know if you’re able to include it for her on your page, under Activities for Children? I know Amanda would be thrilled to see she could help! I meet with her on Saturday afternoon!
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Mrs. Lily Stevens
