| Explore Awards for 2011-12 |
|
School budgets continue to be all about frugality. To help ensure that kids can still experience the region's many treasures, THV will make Explore Awards to help cover the cost of transportation and site admissions. Trips should be related to core curriculum or programs, but applicants are not required to submit activities or lesson plans though, of course, they are welcome to do so. If you are planning to visit a site in Hyde Park, please consider applying for a Bus On Us grant, instead of an Explore Award. Teachers and other staff in after-school and summer programs, as well as public and private schools, are eligible to apply. Applicants who did not attend THV's 2011 summer institute should plan to attend the 2012 program tentatively set for July 24-26 in Hyde Park. Applicants -- and sites they visit -- must be located within the federally-designated Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area including the counties listed below. Please see guidelines for details and to download an application.  Albany Greene Rondout Middle School students aboard the fireboat, John J. Harvey, docked at Kingston.
