Wreaths Across America Announces New TEACH Partnership Agreement with the Korean War Legacy Foundation
13 August 2024 - 4:38PM
National nonprofit Wreaths Across America (WAA) proudly announces
its new TEACH partnership agreement with the Korean War Legacy
Foundation (KWLF). Through this new partnership, both organizations
will collaborate to create engaging and relevant content designed
to educate and inspire students with a curriculum that encourages
character development, civic responsibility, respect, and honor.
“The Korean War Legacy Foundation is honored to partner with
Wreaths Across America and provide free access to all eight of the
KWLF’s curriculum books through the organization’s TEACH platform,”
said Dr. Jongwoo Han, KWLF President. “WAA’s TEACH website is an
exceptional resource for lesson plans that align with both
organizations’ shared mission: honoring the sacrifices of our
veterans and their families.”
With the help of the KWLF and other partners, WAA will provide
abundant free lesson plans, resources, and activities on its
website that teach history, honesty, integrity, gratitude and
patriotism. WAA launched the standards-based K-12 curriculum in
2022, offering free lesson plans and student activities encouraging
community service. All WAA lesson plans are original content
developed by award-winning educator and American Gold Star Mother
Cindy Tatum.
“We are honored to be collaborating with the Korean War Legacy
Foundation and looking forward to learning from their team of
experts as well as help in sharing their knowledge about what is
often thought of as ‘the forgotten war,’” said Cindy Tatum, Gold
Star Mother and WAA Curriculum Developer.
