ThanksUSA Update
April 30, 2007 at 2:21 pm
A few quick updates on ThanksUSA — the great charity that provides education scholarships to spouses and children of our troops.
On February 23, 2007, ThanksUSA launched Treasure Hunt Two — TH2 — which runs through September 4, 2007. The theme of this year’s American history treasure hunt is “Pillars of Democracy.”
- Players of all ages can test their knowledge of the history of America and of the 12 TH2 states
- Sixty percent of the questions are aligned to K-12 state history and social study standards
- Entire game can be played online interactively
- Classrooms, youth groups and individuals have the chance to win great educational and technological prizes like Staples gift certificates, iPods, iPhones and laptop computers
There’s a great write-up by The Politico’s Anne Schroeder in her Shenanigans gossip column about a recent ThanksUSA breakfast event. Click here to read.
