CYPRESS ANNOUNCES TRUNKS FOR TEACHERS

Although the Holocaust occurred over sixty years ago and many monumental milestones of the civil rights movement were happening fifty years ago, the lessons from these dramatic periods in our history are still necessary for today's students. Besides teaching the historical and cultural significance of these major events, it is essential to make students aware of personal responsibility and moral courage. To this end, CYPRESS, The Committee to Promote Respect in Schools, has created a new program initiative, TRUNKS FOR TEACHERS, to bring relevant materials to your students.

Classroom language arts and social studies teachers in middle and high schools now have the opportunity to borrow carefully selected, educationally appropriate materials-fiction and non-fiction books, resource tools including maps, posters, and reference books, audio-visual materials and teacher resources-all packed in a trunk and ready to go! All you need to add is a motivated teacher and a classroom of students.

Check out our Policies and Procedures to find out how you can borrow a trunk for your classroom.
