Third grade at Allen Elementary held an art fundraiser through Square One Art in December to earn money to bring the Ohio Historical Society’s History-To-Go Van to Allen’s 3rd and 4th grade students. The van includes hands-on reproduction items and other educational materials to bring the museum exhibits to schools around the state. The theme of this year’s visit was Agriculture and Nature. Food chains, the water cycle, wetlands, and the many uses of Ohio’s #1 agricultural product, corn, were explored. Students also classified animals and determined their survival mechanisms through examining furs, feathers, claws, and skulls.
