Looking Forward
Summer Quarter 2018
Many accomplishments took place at the Little White House with many more to come.
Looking back from last year, we have implemented many new program ideas while at the same time planning for the future of the historical site. From home schooling classes to our gift shop product line, we have grown.
We have had some staff members leave and new staff come on board. All have been fine and contributed to our exceptional guest services we provide.
Our traveling exhibits from Kennesaw State University have proven to be a wonderful addition as we get about four a year. Guests always stop and read the panels. Another traveling exhibit, "Faith and Courage" tells the story of military Chaplains who served in combat during WWII. It has been a hit as guests love to see the Bible that stopped a bullet from killing a Chaplain.
In February we hosted the Triple Nickels, America's first black paratroopers and smoke jumpers to honor Black Historic Month.
At our April 12 Commemorative Ceremony, author and keynote speaker David Woolner - "The Last 100 Days: FDR at War and at Peace" along with Geraldine Hawkins, author of "Elliott and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Story of a Father and His Daughter in the Gilded Age" were on hand to meet with guests and sign copies of their books. Jonnie Classen received our 48 Star Flag Award for her volunteer service to our site. She works tirelessly to perpetuate the legacy of Rosie the Riveter and Merrill's Marauders of which her parents served with, respectively, during WWII.

HomeSchool Wednesdays Pollinators, Conservation and FDR
A new initiative we out into place this year was our new HomeSchool Wednesday program. We kicked it off in March with 13 students attending. The purpose of our program allowed us to reach out to homeschoolers as they have a very diverse curriculum they can choose from. During our "Kickoff Event" we offered Stamp Collecting, Compass/Orienteering, Archaeology, Calligraphy and more. All students were awarded an Certificate of Achievement. Now, every Wednesday, we offer the choice of three different programs each week that educating parents can choose from. Class presentations are held in our theater throughout the day Currently, we have over 12 presentations with many more on the way.
We all appreciated the fact that President Roosevelt was a conservationist and that allows us to get creative with our programming. The Atlanta Garden Club donated many plants for our new Pollinator Garden. We are now a Certified Pollinator Habitat. This has also provided us with inspiration to create some upcoming classroom presentations on the subjects of conservation and pollination as we try to help the Monarch Butterfly.

Create Your Own Pollinator Garden It is not hard to build your own little spot to attract birds, butterflies, bees and moths that can benefit them as well as us. Below is a chart for a small Georgia garden that not only attracts pollinators, but provides host plants for Monarch Butterflies to lay their eggs. Corner Garden
As we move forward to another year of fine programing, we would like to invite you to visit Roosevelt's Little White House for both an educational and enjoyable experience.
