And we cannot do it without you&#8211;the members of our network! From teachers to artists, folklorists, and community-based leaders, we value every opportunity we have to learn with and from each of you. So what does our end-of-year list of accomplishments include?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Culture, Community, and the Classroom programs in New York and Pennsylvania, reaching 50 teachers, 350+ students, 16 folk artists, and 145 others through our partnerships and public showcases.<\/li>\n<li>Workshops and programs in Arizona, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Florida, and the southern mountain region of Appalachia in Kentucky, North Carolina, and Tennessee.<\/li>\n<li>An updated LL website and a new site dedicated to our journal, making our excellent learning content more visible and user friendly. The websites have received a 100% accessibility score, meeting one of our\u00a0goals. And by highlighting the Journal of Folklore and Education on its own platform (https:\/\/JFEpublications.org) we can target potential authors and reach many more readers.<\/li>\n<li>A new Staff member in partnership with New York Folklore, Mira Johnson, who coordinates the growing and dynamic New York Folklore and Education Network.<\/li>\n<li>Our first year as a member of the Teaching with Primary Sources network as a grantee from the Library of Congress (look for our TPS professional development workshops coming to Vermont, Florida, and Oklahoma in 2022!).<\/li>\n<li>Another excellent volume of the\u00a0<em>Journal of Folklore and Education<\/em>\u00a0on the theme &#8220;Creative Texts | Creative Traditions&#8221; featuring articles, learning activities, and reviews.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finally, we highlight that we are closing 2021 with an exciting $5,000 Challenge Grant from a Local Learning friend and supporter. Your donation will go even further this year as we look to raise $5,000 to meet this donor challenge. Through Giving Tuesday and other appeals we have raised $3,000.
