Students at the Owendale Gagetown Area School District will have the opportunity to travel back in time to experience the pilgrims and the Mayflower along with many other important events in American History thanks to a donation of books written by radio talk show host and conservative political commentator Rush Limbaugh. This donation was provided last week to our school district by Tamera Feldhouse a mother of a second-grade student at Owen-Gage.
The series features the adventures of Rush Revere, a substitute history teacher that is able to travel with his talking horse, Liberty, back to historically significant times in the history of the United States. Books included in the series are, "Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims, Rush Revere and the First Patriots, Rush Revere and the American Revolution, and Rush Revere and the Star-Spangled Banner."
Adults may be surprised to learn little things about American history they missed in school, while children will learn while laughing with snarky horse Liberty who is hungry for knowledge, and food! The pages are filled with illustrations and documents that bring history to life. Rush wrote this series to make learning American History fun for everyone!

She reminded us of the saying, those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it. Lessons from the past can provide insights into the present and our future. These books would be a great way to provide students with another outlet for learning."
These books come to us at a great time during March, which is National Reading Month. Students and teachers at Owengage are encouraged to check out these books from our library, and take on a new way of learning.
