Lincoln Financial Foundation awards $20,000 to The Mark Twain House & Museum for education programs for Hartford students
The Mark Twain House & Museum is pleased to announce that we have been awarded a $20,000 grant from the Lincoln Financial Foundation in support of our education programs that serve Hartford public school students.
The museum offers a variety of educational programs for K-12 students that provide valuable experiential learning opportunities while helping schools meet the goals of Connecticut’s Curriculum Standards. The Free Visit Program for all schools in Connecticut’s Priority Districts, including Hartford, ensures that these schools that wish to bring their students to the Mark Twain House and Museum can do so at no cost.
The Mark Twain House & Museum is committed to using its unique resources to serve the educational needs of students. This commitment continues the legacy of Mark Twain, a strong supporter of public education, who said “out of the public school grows the greatness of a nation.” Through its School Tour Program, students visit the museum and participate in grade-level-appropriate programs including hands-on learning and storytelling activities for younger children, and, for middle and high school students, activities that focus on reading comprehension and literary analysis, creative writing, critical thinking skills, and history.
Pieter Roos, Executive Director of The Mark Twain House and Museum noted that, “Lincoln Financial has been a long-time supporter of this museum and we could not be more proud of that association or more pleased that they have once again supported our efforts to provide educational opportunities for students who, like Mark Twain, call Hartford home.”
