Students traveled back in time to learn about Native Americans in the Valley

Sebring, OH (Nov. 21, 2023) — Students at Sebring’s B.L. Miller Elementary School embraced a special learning opportunity as the Mahoning Valley Historical Society brought the rich Native American history of the Mahoning Valley to life in Leann Laure's third-grade classroom.

Dante Bernard from the Historical Society shared artifacts and led the hands-on exploration. Students rotated through different stations, getting hands-on experience with games they played, seeds they planted, clothing they wore, and animal furs they hunted.

This presentation aligned perfectly with the third-grade unit of study on how our community has changed over time, with a special focus on the use of artifacts. 

Sebring Local Schools would like to thank the Mahoning Valley Historical Society for providing this experience and giving our students a deeper understanding and appreciation for the Native American history of the Mahoning Valley.
