On Wednesday, May 8, the LeRoy-Ostrander 6^th, 7^th and 9^th graders experienced the 100th anniversary of the Great War, now known as World War I in the L-O Library Media Center by retired teacher, Arn Kind.
To commemorate it, Historical Experiences, an exciting living history program to learn all about “The War to End All Wars.”  Over 118,000 Minnesota men and women served during the war, in the military as well as in volunteer organizations. Students learned about the new technologies, including the tank, the airplane, the submarine and the use of gas which made the air, the sea and the battlefields of WWI extremely lethal.
Kind’s historical portrayals present this time in during WW1 in an exciting and interactive way with authentic costumes and accessories, role-playing audience members, and gain a deeper understanding.
