Resources for Schools

Our goal is to make Vantage Points resources readily available for classroom use and to create Resource Packages upon request. Contact our Projects Manager, Ken Storie, at kenstorie3@gmail.com – he is more than willing to collaborate with teachers in finding additional resources and in devising ways to use the resources at hand.
